The voice in me

Sometime back in 2022, I hurt my leg in an accident. Luckily no bone was broken, just some soft tissue trauma. However, I noticed that even though it’s been more than a year, when ever I strain my self or get cold, the pain comes back, like today.

Am pretty sure a lot of people can relate to this, with different kinds of injuries. Back then, I was relieved that it was just soft tissue and that nothing else was damaged. I mean, I could walk and no need for casts or surgery. But I did not anticipate that it will be a pain I will carry for this long. I didn’t realise that I would be triggered from time to time.

Made me think about the unresolved issues I mentioned in my previous posts regarding peace. There are experiences we go through, that under certain circumstances we are triggered back into feeling hopeless, sad, discouraged, hurt,etc. The pain and frustration always resurface from time to time and pull us down in one way or another.

At some point in our lives we have to make peace with our past. The fact that it already happened means we can’t change it. Be it a decision or choice you made, or a misfortune that happened. So it means we need a way to cope or live with our past.

I remember mentioning something about the Prince of peace.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
— Isaiah 9:6

When the Messiah was being promised, it was said He will be the prince of Peace. That means he will be the only one who can bring true peace: restoration, redemption, and reconciliation between You and God and everything else. Jesus came to bring peace in every aspect of our lives. That means not only between us and God but also us and everything else.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
— Philippians 4:6-7
So this verse would make perfect sense. It don’t say that the problems will be taken away, the memories will still be there, but when the issues resurface, your mind and heart is protected from the negativity it brings. You can’t change what happened but if not careful what happened may change you and not always will it be in a positive light. So rather protect for heart and mind from it.

Bring it all to Him

Cheers!
