MENDING

You don’t have to rush your way to wholeness.

Boo Boo,

This year, I had to face a part of my heart I didn’t want to, a conversation I had avoided, a memory I had buried for so long. It was painful, and for a while, I didn’t want to let God touch it because I knew it would hurt before it healed.

But I have learned that true wholeness often begins when we stop avoiding what broke us. When we let Him place His gentle hands on the wound and start the mending work.

It is not quick work. It is slow, deliberate, and sometimes it feels like too much, but I can tell you, it is worth it.

Now, when I look back, the pain doesn’t sting the same way. It has become a marker of how far I’ve come, of how deeply I have been held.

God wove grace right into the place where I was torn, and that scar has become a place where His glory shines through.

If you are in the middle of mending, take heart. It is okay to take it slow. You don’t have to rush your way to wholeness. Let Him do it layer by layer, stitch by stitch.

Tenderly,

A friend who cares so much.
