What if you were to treat the pain and not the problem?

What do you mean Pastor Kisha?

Imagine going to the doctor, in severe pain, and they prescribe narcotics. Now, while the medication works, when it wears off the pain returns. Why? Because the pain has been treated, but not the cause of the pain.

Beloved, how much longer will you carry on, masking the pain? How much longer will you act like there’s nothing wrong? How long are you going to keep putting off healing? Baby, you’ll never heal if you keep pretending you aren’t hurt.

Deal with the mommy/daddy issues, abandonment woes, generational curses, and self-esteem problems. Get help for the depression, anxiety, and your mental health. Grieve the person who has died and the one still alive, but dead to you. Speak the truth of how they made you feel. Forgive yourself for what you allowed and took. Heal the wounds you keep bandaging because they can still become infected even when they are covered. Which may be the stench you smell.

Heal mane. Heal because there’s so much waiting on the healed version of you.

Treat the problem, not just the pain!
