All of us have a number of hurtful, traumatic experiences in our past which have scarred us emotionally. You may have grown up with a physically, emotionally or sexually abusive parent. You may have been bullied. Been the child of divorced parents. Lost someone you love. Been wronged. Any number of traumatic, emotional events can clutter your soul with emotional baggage which seems to limit your maturity and block your freedom in Christ. You must move on. You will not forget, but let go of the experiences and lies that have controlled you your whole life. Forgive those who have offended you. Accept that your life has not been perfect... people and things have altered it. Some things you could not control. And remember they are not your identity! Your identity is a child of God. He created you. He loves you like no other!
As a Christian, you are primarily the product of the work of Christ on the cross. You are literally a new creature in Christ. The "old you" is gone; the "new you" is here.
Prayer: Father, thank You for working all things for good in my life, even the effects of evil attacks meant for my harm and destruction.
