March 2026 Theme: Healing Past Scars
Weekly Theme: Healing from the Past
Isaiah 61: 1-3
Psalms 34: 18
Medically, a wound can only heal when the person is alive, the source of the damage has stopped inflicting damage, a conducive environment has been created for the healing and time allowed for the healing to take place. If the wound is from a burn, if the area is still exposed to the fire causing the burn, it will not heal but get worse. A conducive environment for healing is created by providing adequate blood and oxygen supply, clean wound environment hence dead tissue from the wound needs to be removed, minimal stress to the affected area, absence of infection amongst other factors. These factors need to be available to the affected wound over time in appropriate quantities
In this journey called life we get injured physically, mentally, emotionally and even spiritually. Physically is what others see and can easily empathize with you because they can literally see what you are going though. However mentally, emotionally and spiritually are usually a one man battle you fight on your own with no one watching. These scars come as a result of being exposed to the wrong people all the time, good people with bad habits or what we do to ourselves what we should not. How can you heal from this?
Psalm 34:18 reminds us that God is close to the brokenhearted. You are never alone; you will never walk this journey on your own. Lean not on your own understanding but trust in the Lord. It is easy to fall into despair, blame yourself or even others, fail to see the end of your anguish let alone how you can get out of it. My message to you today, is trust in the Lord, He delivers the righteous. He has great plans for you. He sent his son to die on the cross for you, so that you can live a life of abundance. In Isaiah 61: 1-3, we are reminded that there is good news to the poor, healing for the brokenhearted and freedoms for the captives.
No matter what you went through, who hurt, what you lost, the betrayal you endured and the emotional, mental and spiritual pain you are never alone. The Lord is with you. When all seems lost remember that as long as you are still alive healing can take place. You need to create an environment that fosters healing, learn from the past to avoid future mishaps, have a clean heart, draw closer to God and do not allow re-infection to take place. This means, sometimes you need to step away from some people in your life. You need to change your habits for healing to take place. You need to provide yourself with adequate mental, emotional and spiritual nutrition by feeding your mind, heart and spirit the correct food. If you continue dwelling in the past, healing never starts. Healing and forgetting are two different things. Don’t wait to start healing when you have forgotten what happened. Sometimes it takes years and your life would be gone. Be of great courage in the face of adversity. May God the Father give you peace that surpasses all understanding and strength to start the journey towards healing.
