In a nutshell, someone else’s life is depending on your obedience to GOD! You must understand that the pride which prevents you from expressing your hidden pain is blocking someone else’s blessing! We are all “dealt” a certain “hand” in life. Sometimes that hand is the bomb, sometimes it’s decent, and sometimes it bites. In either case, we are responsible for how we play the hand we have been dealt. At some point in time, every human, if on this earth for any significant period of time, will inevitably experience pain, disappointment, discouragement or frustration. If we deal with those emotions appropriately, we can then be an encouragement to someone else that may be experiencing what we have made it through. Ultimately, your relationship with GOD through Jesus Christ is the key to unlock your own healing and to be made whole. You will then be in a position to help someone else overcome their pain. Pulling up unpleasant and hurtful experiences from your past is not an easy path to travel. In fact, there will be tears, and in many cases, a high level of discomfort. On the other side of your pain; however, is healing and joy! If you are like most people,you would like to skip the process and go straight to the healing on the other side. Unfortunately, life does not work that way. You must learn to embrace the process. Once you do the work, and deal with that pain, the reward is that much greater. Furthermore, think of the impact of your testimony. As you share your truth, there is someone waiting in the wings for your specific testimony so they can experience freedom from their pain also. There has to be someone that breaks that generational curse. Why not YOU? Throughout my life, I have heard many people (myself included) say: “I am only one person, I can’t make an impact!” Well my friend let me present to you Jesus Christ! HE was only one person, but look at what he did for the world! Your argument may then be: “But Jesus is GOD!” This is true, so let me give you a few earthly examples: King David, Paul (formerly Saul), Moses, Gideon, and from our day, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, W.E.B. DuBois, and Marcus Garvey to name a few. One individual –HUGE IMPACT! There is a cliché that says: Hurt People HURT People; but Healed People HEAL People. Your pain has significance, and will be life changing for many people. Even if it only changes the life of one individual, you have still made an impact! As I close, imagine a still body of water. If you take a single stone, and throw it into the center of that body of water, the ripple effect affects the entire body of water! Likewise, your addressed pain will be that individual stone. YOU are significant, and YOU will make a difference in this world because YOUR PAIN HAS PURPOSE! Contact TerryHowell: terryhowell@thconsultantsllc.com
