When someone shares their deepest thoughts and struggles with you, they have given you access to their heart (and it is always a heart issue!). Matters of the heart open sacred space. Step lightly. Proceed with the utmost care. For, you have been entrusted with the most delicate issues.
Do not judge. Do not condemn. Never share with others. Just listen with your heart wide open. Listen with the compassion of Christ. Use wisdom, discernment and encouragement. Pray for one another.
Each of us is wounded. Some process differently than others. Some do not process at all but rather build walls that hold them captive and keep them from living fully.
I was an excellent wall builder at one time. I had learned the skill early in life. I had become the architect of a near impenetrable barrier to my heart (again, it is always a heart issue!). The walls were high and mightily fortified. It was all I knew. There was no breaking in through those mighty walls. But then life brought some great challenges and I slowly had to relinquish my wall building career. It was not easy as I had become most proficient. By the grace of God, I had to learn to forgive others, forgive myself, release and step forward outside those walls.
For everyone reading this who has been broken by circumstances I bind any hindering spirit that would keep you from moving forward. I loose ministering angels to surround you about. I pray the healing grace of God to enfold you, comfort you and bring you out whole in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen and Amen.
For it is written:
“And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
