Sometimes you just want the pain to go away and it won’t. Sometimes being introspective is the most frightening thing in the world, because when you really quiet yourself and look inward all it brings up is pain. Because when you look intently inward you often see things long covered over and buried. Things buried for good reason. But maybe now it’s time. Time to face the monsters long hibernating in the caves of your heart and soul. Maybe, just maybe if we face them head on we will no longer have anything to fear. Maybe the pain will be a breeding ground for healing and freedom. Maybe the silence of God will give way to intimacy and He will be more real than ever. Time to embrace moments of silence, hours of lingering discomfort, days of confronting things hard to face, that the result may be beautiful peace and freedom from things we had long since forgotten were holding us captive.
