The Wound
by Barb Sybil

Have you ever compared how when the heart is hurt from a bad relationship it is like a cut to the flesh?
Like a cut to the skin, wounds take time to heal as does the heart after a relationship falls apart. Depending on the type of wound and the care initially given to it will help determine the time it will take to heal completely.
If we rush the healing process or ignore the precautions needed by reinjuring it, bumping it, or not cleansing it properly, it will slow down the healing process as well as running the risk of infection.
Sometimes the wound is so very deep that if it closes too soon at the surface before the inside can heal properly then the wound can also become infected. In this case the wound will have to be reopened so it can heal right. If not, it can start to fester and cause long term or permanent damage.
Well, with the heart when we go from one relationship to another and then to another we are not really giving the heart time to heal. It is only healing on the surface not inside where it needs to. We then can become callused or infected with bitterness, anger, resentment and / or become depressed. It continues to fester underneath until it is bumped and we are reminded it has not healed completely or correctly. Like the cut to the flesh it will need to be reopened with care and compassion.
God is our great physician He created our heart to love and be loved but within the safety of HIS guidelines not the worlds’. If we go to Him and allow God to heal the wound and guide us as to whom HE has chosen for us to be with and when to date, then the heart can be given the time to heal completely making the next relationship one that lasts a life time.
Like a healed wound to the flesh both the skin and heart may show signs of a scar but the effects of what caused it will no longer hurt.
