Healing Over Time

Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.

Jeremiah 33:6 (NKJV)

Don't live frustrated because your areas of spiritual growth haven't encompassed all that you need to be liberated from.

Don't lose the determination to keep believing and trying and studying and praying simply because there are still areas in your life that are frustrating and limiting, restricting and deflating.

Accept where you are. Own where you are. Confess that while there may be many areas in your life where knowing Jesus has helped to sort and straighten things out, there are other areas that have not yet been healed. There are things you are still dealing with.

Even while you may have deep belief and faith in Christ, accept where you are in your journey to wholeness and wellness and spiritual health.

At times, the celebration in life is not in having reached completion, but simply having made significant progress. You may not be completely where you ought to be, but you’re further along than you’ve been. You may not be feeling like you had hoped you would feel, but you’re feeling better than you previously felt. Everything may not be working in perfect harmony and symmetry, but there's not as much chaos as there used to be. You may not be over the struggle and strangeness of a particular season, but you’re not as fearful as you used to be while walking through it.

Everything is not always healed at the same time. Healing is being dispensed at various intervals. Some of it you get in the beginning. Some of it you get as you take subsequent steps. Some of it will come at the end.

Accept where you are, and ask God to continue to move you forward.
