Don't Live with a Broken Soul, Let God Restore it. Psalm 23:3

Many of us have been through some unthinkable things that’s caused us to go through life broken but God wants us restored. Your soul is three parts: mind, will, and emotions. Traumatic experiences can cause hurts to take root in your soul and live for many years. Bad relationships you may’ve encountered throughout the years can cause bitterness, resentment, anger, hurt, and so much more to be entangled in your soul. Some people go through life just angry with the world and they don’t know why because they thought they had gotten over the past. Truth is, if you don’t allow God to restore your soul after being hurt and forgive the person, it’ll start to show in your emotions, your choices, and your mental state.

Many times we make major decisions in life, like marriage, with broken souls and in the end many get divorce. You can’t make the best decisions with a broken soul. You have to do some soul searching and ask God to deliver, heal, and restore your soul. If we don’t take time to deal with our souls we’ll always see life from a broken perspective. You can’t obtain what you really need in life if your soul is damaged. You have to be willing to forgive your past to walk into a healthy future. You have the choice to live restored and free. God wants us complete but do we want the same thing for ourselves or do we want to continue walking around damaged mad at the world? Some situations are out of our control but we do control how we choose to react. Refuse to go through life miserable because of what someone did to you in the past. Refuse to live beneath the way God said you can live. Refuse to go another moment damaged. If you’re tired of your emotions being out of whack and tired of living in bondage because of past hurts then ask God now to uproot the bitterness, anger, resentments, etc and to restore your soul. Deal with the root issues that's caused your brokenness so they can't grow any longer.  If you need to forgive someone who hurt you then do it now, if you need to ask someone to forgive you then do it now. As the bible says, if we don’t forgive, God won’t forgive us. (Matthew 6:14). Don’t let another person hold your happiness, that power belongs to you. We have to be healed and delivered so that we can go forth in the things of God completely. There’s a hurting world out here that needs us so let God restore you so we can help someone else. Stay in race. -Eri @EriHolmes
