Time heal all wounds. Too bad that’s not true.

If anything it seems that time does little to heal deep soul wounds. Time is often a phantom that actually distracts people from healing. We think that we are removed from the wounds of the past through the years of separation from the original wound. More than likely, until we are brutally honest and do the grief work, we’ll keep wounding ourselves deeper.

Our churches, recovery groups, and therapist’s offices are full of people who think that time is the “distance” that will help them heal. Our work place is full of people staring at their calendars waiting to be healed. It’s like running away hoping that a new geography will help us heal.

We heal when we are ready to face our pain; when we are ready to stretch out our hands; when we rise up and walk into the water.

Do you want to be healed? Then don’t wait until next year; stretch out your hand today.
