Unresolved Emotions
Manage episode 519937737 series 3016958
We often carry invisible burdens—hurts from childhood, broken relationships, betrayals, and wounds we never asked for. This powerful message uses the vivid imagery of rocks hidden under a rug to illustrate how we naturally try to conceal our emotional pain rather than address it. The truth is, unresolved emotions don't simply disappear with time; they remain buried beneath the surface, waiting to be stumbled upon. Drawing from Psalm 147, we're reminded that God's heart is to heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds. The message walks us through a biblical three-step healing process: first, we must be honest with ourselves about our hurts, acknowledging them before God rather than suppressing them. Second, we must remove old memories and replace them with God's truth, renewing our minds through Scripture rather than conforming to what the world—or our past—says about us. Finally, we must refocus on the future, refusing to live as victims of our past. The profound question Jesus asked the paralytic at the Pool of Bethesda echoes for us today: 'Do you want to be well?' Sometimes we cling to our hurts because they've become our identity, our excuse, our familiar companion. But wholeness awaits on the other side of courage. God doesn't just want to save us for eternity; He wants to heal us now, so we can live the abundant life Christ promised.
