Embracing Vulnerability
Monday, January 27, 2025 by CF Sherrow
Categories: Love of God / Trauma and recovery
Hello, Readers. Today’s blog is a direct quote from my favorite devotional book, titled, “The Divine Romance: 365 Days Meditating on the Song of Songs”.
“Come with your burdens and cares and lay them at His feet. No trauma is too hard for Him to heal. No memory is so deep that He cannot reach into it and remove the sting. His love and power are unstoppable.
“Part of healing the wounds of the past is to become vulnerable with others. God never asks you to wear a mask and pretend that everything is okay when it isn’t. God created you with emotions, and those emotions should lead you into freedom, not keep you locked up in pain. Sometimes processing emotions with the Lord in private is enough to set you free. However, sometimes it takes someone you trust, to help walk you through to victory. If you don’t have someone you trust, ask Him to bring the right person across your path, and He will.”
I am one who struggles with vulnerability. As a survivor of ritual abuse, I know not everyone is safe enough to share in my story. However, God provides. Again and again.
Blessings to you.
