Healed from within.


Hellooooo lovely people, I've seriously missed you guys!

So I've been to the Hillsong Conference in London last week and it was mind blowing. It was just EXACTLY what I needed and it was exactly what I've prayed for the last few months. I've been asking God for something new. Something refreshing. Something that would heal and restore unnecessary wounds in my heart, because I felt I was still struggling with that. And today I can say my God is a God who hears and who is faithful cause He definitely answered all my prayers! I'm so thankful that I am AGAIN, reminded of who I am in Christ and thankful that I am restored! Praise Jesus.

I actually woke up today and really felt on my heart to write about this thing I've been dealing with: dealing with my wounds who were really deeply rooted from within.

Deep wounds are caused by abuse, neglect, addiction, bitterness and disappointments. Deep wounds will make you focus on yourself instead of other people. Deep wounds will make you self centered because hey, you're the wounded one after all. Deep wounds will stop you from getting all the goodness of God in your future, because you're constantly reminded and focused of how bad your life was or is. Deep wounds will overall stop you from having a good and happy life.

Even though I was set free months ago from my wounds, they left scars on those wounded places and that was the part that hurt. The devil constantly wanted me to focus on the scars, on the loss, on the grief, on the regrets. It hindered me from going to the next level because I was constantly self pitying -even though I did NOT want to-. Overall, I was lost for a while and I forgot who my God was and who I was in Him. I was really struggling with that and at a given moment I was so fed up with how I was feeling. I felt like I was missing out on the GOOD and FUN side of life because I was too focused on the negative. And yes dear friends, as you have read before, our God is faithful. And God hears my prayers. He dealt with my issues during the conference. He dealt with my drama. He dealt with my pain. And now I can truly say that He's Jehovah Rapha - The Lord my healer.

God showed me another side of this struggle I was in. He taught me that I NEEDED to be wounded so that others might be healed. I needed to go through the pain so that I could testify that there is a God who so loved the world that He sent His only Son for our pain, our struggles, our transgressions and iniquities. He directed my eyes to another perspective and I'm forever thankful for that. I know He's teaching me to love others with my whole heart, and to live for that purpose. I hope I can remind you that this message is not only for me. It is for YOU! God loves you, wants to heal you and He wants to give you all the best. He only needs us to cry out to Him, to really confess what your struggle is. If He can answer me, He will answer you, for sure.

Don't let your scars remind you of how bad your life was. Let your scars remind you of what you've been healed off!

Believe that Jesus has something great for you in store!

Love,

Yin
