Shalom greetings beloved...
Today's devotion: A wounded spirit can lead to distorted vision.
Proverbs 18:14 The human spirit can endure a sick body, but who can bear a wounded spirit?
Experiencing abuse, abandonment and rejection, can make you unnecessarily suspicious and distant from genuinely good people who truly love you. Trauma can make you hear things that were never said and see things outside of their original intention.
You can't control how people have treated you, but you can control how you treat you. The pain they caused hurt you, but it's your responsibility to forgive and heal.
When you have a thriving spirit but wounded soul, it's easy to misread suspicions as "discernment." This will have you disconnecting from amazing people just because something they said or did reminded you of past trauma and triggered a negative response in you. Suspicion is not discernment. Furthermore, constant suspicion is a trauma response.
If you still get triggered by certain topics or words, you aren't healed yet. And as long as you remain unhealed, you have the ability to misread people and situations due to viewing the world through the lens of your wound.
You can absolutely love the Lord with all your heart and still be wounded. Don't stay this way. Healing and wholeness are possible. The steps are clearly laid out in scripture. If this is you, I have prayed for you that the Lord heals you in Jesus name amen.
A blessed day
