There was a moment where I stood in the back of a service one night and asked the Lord what is it that I am suppose to learn from this situation. The day before I experienced such verbal abuse from someone close to me and knowing that Christ is in me, I had to break the flesh from feeding into the argument and see through the eyes of Christ because we as God’s children have to give an account on how we treat people, not how others treat us.
Scriptures:
- “But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; for the Lord thy God is a merciful God, he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.” Deuteronomy 4:29
- “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels: and then he shall reward every man according to his works.” Matthew 16:26
- “Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be moved.” Psalm 62:1
- “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
- “May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23
I was already in a state of vulnerability which charged me to pray. That evening I encountered someone who spoke very aggressively to me and I felt as if it was a test. I spoke assertively regarding the situation because the person did not have the full scope of what happened, but instead of me crying and saying why is this happening again. I stood on my faith and said, Lord reveal what it is I need to learn. Through this meditation I realized that the soul needs healing and mending. If you have ever experienced trauma, narcissistic individuals, cyclical patterns in your life; it affects the soul and the soul needs restoration and healing. I have listed 5 scriptures that can help you on your journey of healing.
