Devotional

It breaks my heart to see young people (and old) going to hell because they can’t understand things that may have happened or they had possibly seen from their childhood or how to deal with them, thus causing them into a life of sin and bondage so early. God has created our human mind so delicate. He has made it so that if we can live within the confines of the things that we can stand to remember and to deal with, pushing the things that might send us over the edge to the back. It is only when we get to a point where we want nothing more than to be, as Oswald Chambers says, “rightly related” to Jesus that He begins to reveal the hurts from our past that had been made into a whirlwind of confusion before. Our mind is like a puzzle, it is a million memories, a million occurrences, a million things we have learned, and these are what make up the pieces. We can try to rebuild that puzzle to make ourselves okay, but without the pieces God has hidden for our protection being either revealed and healed or broken and replaced by nothing more than His peace and love, we can never be made complete.
