Keep It Real With Gabriella Lupisellaਨਮੂਨਾ

Open Your Heart

I see the greatest hurt in relationships, friendships, and in ourselves when we hold back how we truly feel. All of us have some sort of hurt, pain, and worry from things that could’ve happened many years ago, and yet we still haven’t healed from them.

The first step you need to take in order to break free from the burdens you have of past hurt, pain, and worry, is to be honest with God, yourself, and those around you. You are allowed to grieve, mourn, and heal. However, you need to be open and honest with those around you and choose to be vulnerable, even if it’s uncomfortable.

When you attempt to cover up your hurt, it only creates a wall between you and God. It’s okay to be honest with God. He’s not going to hurt you. He’s not going to abuse you. He already knows everything about you. You need to open up every part of yourself to Him—including the messy stuff—in order for the healing to begin. He’s waiting to give you rest for your soul, and if you come to Him, He will give it to you.
