When you have been through such overwhelming oppression that it creates a deep rooted fear within your heart, it also creates walls. You build walls of pride that say, “No one is ever going to hurt me or tell me what to do ever again.†The trouble with that is pride is no respecter of persons; pride will rear its head at everyone, even those who are not trying to hurt you. The wall of pride will also keep God’s blessings from getting through. Walls work both ways; they keep all out and keep you in; bound. (James 4:6) “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.†A broken damaged heart will also create a wall of its root name, fear. This wall creates walls within itself. You become scared of many things and one of those walls is not being able to trust of God. You do not trust Him to come through for you due to the heartache you had been through. You become fearful of being provided for; of having what you need which leads to another wall. This wall is the wall of anxiety; your fear of being provided for and things working in your favor is so strong when waiting for a certain provision or something good you want to happen you become anxious until it happens. This leads to another wall; worry. If things or provision do not happen in the time frame of your will then you worry until it does. Worry and anxiety go hand and hand. Another wall associated with fear is the wall of inferiority. The heartache you have endured and most likely lack of pure love due to it has created an inferiority complex within you. You feel rejected and not as loved, valued or accepted as everyone else. The devil is a liar! Nothing is further from the truth. The truth is “God has loved you with an everlasting love; He has drawn you with loving-kindness.†He created you in love and died for you in love and if you were then only one on earth He would have still came and still died for your sins. (Matthew 18:11-13) “For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost; "What do you think? If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying? "If it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.†This creates another wall; the wall of despair and hopelessness. Your lack of peace due to the walls around your heart and created a wall of despair; despair due to constant worry, anxiety and fear. You want to be happy and provided for and loved like everyone else and cannot fathom why it does not happen for you. “Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.†But praise God He will not let you stay that way! He knew the path you would take; He knew every person that would invade your path along the way and will not listen to His voice to love you and not hurt you and has provided a way out and a path of healing to restore your heart to Him. We just have to dare to entrust our hearts to Him; the One who created our heart is the only One who can heal it. Are you hurting? Nothing else has worked so far? So dare to trust God with it; give your heart to Him and ALL the pain within and wait in expectation for the healing process to begin! (Psalm 34:18) “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.†Look into His Redeeming Eyes of Love and allow His unconditional love to heal your heart.
I have walked the road of heartache and pain and gave my heart away somewhere along the way.
The roads I've traveled since are many, some were bitterness and anger, some were self-pity and others unforgiveness. In giving it away numbness filled my heart.
Yet through all the clutter and walls that I myself erected round my heart, YOU still loved and saw me with Your Redeeming Eyes of Love.
You placed an angel on my path that saw right through my self-made walls. She looked at me with Your Redeeming Eyes of Love and led me straight to YOU.
I let YOU in and gave my heart to YOU; though I thought my heart was lost, YOU had it all along. I hold the key to let YOU in and YOU hold the key to make it new again.
My story is not over; a new path I needed to begin with roads paved with love and restoration created for me before time began.
Each road is hard and involves a process of tearing down my self-made walls. With each step I take and each road I walk a wall comes tumbling down.
Now, instead of walls around my heart the tree of life grows there. My heart was never lost to You and the love in Your Redeeming Eyes has replaced the heartache and pain with joy and fullness of life!
