As I was praying this morning there were a few things that came to me. When a wound is healing and its time for the scab part to fall off, it doesn't hurt at that point. The scab can honestly be annoying at times cause at that point its no longer part of the wound just a covering that keeps you from truly feeling what is going on around. IF its ready to come off it comes off easily HOWEVER the new skin underneath is extremely sensitive and its feeling everything as if for the first time. Our instinct is to cover it back up but in reality the best thing for it at that point is to be exposed and allow to feel the breath of fresh air. The reason that I don't want to fix or heal you is because for the most part the healing is done. The covering just needs to come off. Right now its hindering how you move and feel the world around you. Its not comfortable but its what you have known and at least this way you can't get hurt! Its our job as the body of christ to help other remove the coverings and begin to feel what living again is all about. Its gonna feel weird and scary and you will want to cover back up, but take my hand and trust God. I don't want to fix you or help you but I do desire to do life with you! And life is all about growing, healing, changing and loving. All into the people that God wants us to be. And since God wants what's best for us it seems like a pretty good plan ;)
