Reach Forward Coaching

such a good way to explain this truth

Each day we have a choice. We can try to numb our pain, or we can invite God into it.

The problem with numbing our pain is that it never goes to the source of the issue to make us healthier. It only silences our screaming need for help.
We think we’re freeing ourselves from the pain when, in reality, what numbs us imprisons us.

If we avoid the hurt, the hurt creates a void in us. It slowly kills the potential for our hearts to fully feel, connect, and love again. It even steals the best in our relationship with God.

I don’t know what’s hurting in your life right now. But I do know that pain isn’t the enemy. Pain is simply the indicator that brokenness exists.

Instead of trying to numb those places in our hearts that still hurt, let’s invite God into our pain. Let's ask Him to replace our faltering strength with His. And then let's choose to believe that, with Him, healing is possible.

remember when you get discouraged…

good perspective!
