-God designed mankind to feel love, to be loved and also to give love. -Many wounds come from childhood where there has been lack of love, lack of affection and acknowledgment. This lack creates a void in the heart that remains as the years go by. -Usually people try to fill the void with secondary things and therby exposing themselves to serious sin. Many go in to a marriage under this condition thinking the marriage will help them forget what they suffered in childhood. This actually makes things worse. -Wounds of the spirit go beyond memory and are deeper than even a conscious mind can fathom. In most cases, these wounds didn’t even register in our memory because we were probably so young that we don’t remember the events.
Time will not heal, instead years go by and the wounds become even deeper than they were in the beginning. Causes of rejection: -When a pregnant woman doesn’t want her child -When children are born but not accepted because of their gender or due to the financial situation at the home -When the parents show preference to one child over another -When children are publicly embarrassed or shamed
Blaming others: “It’s your fault, you did this to me, you said this to me, you don’t love me, etc. -Don’t blame your parents, spouse, sister or brother, friends, etc. -married couples, parenting depends on both parents and it’s important for each parent to fulfill their proper roll.
-Words can be very powerful as they continue to echo in the minds of people becoming an entrenched wound. The result is that people then become resentful and desire revenge, breaking relationships.
Mark 11:25 “Whenever you stand praying, forgive if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.”
Matthew 13:52 (New Living Translation) 52 Then he added, “Every teacher of religious law who becomes a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a homeowner who brings from his storeroom new gems of truth as well as old.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore is anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” -Restore your personal relationship with God.
