Spiritual Healing After Loss: Finding New Life in Christ

The Unreachable Broken Piece

How do you heal the broken part of yourself that you cannot find? No matter how far you reach into yourself, you can never quite touch it. This was the question of a young mother looking into the big beautiful blue eyes of her newborn baby girl. 

Just two short months after losing my dad to suicide, I gave birth to my second daughter. To say I was a mess would be an understatement. I was lost spiritually, drowning in grief, and suddenly responsible for caring for a beautiful miracle. Due to the stress of loss in my life, she was born three weeks early, but she was perfect in every way. I looked into her big blue eyes and cried many

times in the months that followed. 

Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years. Through all this time, I never found the answer to that question. How do you heal the broken part of yourself that you cannot find? It was December 2009 that the answer started coming, in bits and pieces. It was a cold December day when I gave my heart to Jesus.  The moment Jesus stepped into my heart, the cold, dead, hardness that had been my companion for years began to fall away. Jesus began to slowly uncover the broken pieces hidden deep inside me that I could not find on my own. I could never touch these broken pieces because they could only be fixed by the hand of God. My spirit had to be touched, quickened by God.

God's Deep Clean: Spiritual Healing of the Soul

The moment God redeemed my soul, the moment He saved me, sprouts of blessing burst to life within me. Things I had kept hidden away were suddenly illuminated by the holy light of heaven. Doors began to fly off the hinges as God swung them open. Years of filth were instantly washed away. God cleaned the house of my existence and taught me how to dig into His word and prayer for an even deeper cleansing. God’s healing is so refreshing.

Surrendering What We Can't Fix

Friend, you can’t heal the broken pieces of yourself that are God’s to heal. Even after God does the work of salvation within us, clears the debris away, and calls us by name, there will still be things we initially refuse to let go of, and things we add in along the way as we journey toward home. 

Have you experienced a moment like this in your life? Has Jesus reached into the depths of your existence and created a new you from the inside out? Have you been touched and changed by the hand of God? You know if you have. There is no mistaking God’s blessed touch.

Choose the Gift That Brings Healing

Friend, have you allowed God to heal you spiritually? It is the best decision I have ever made.  I became the best version of myself the moment I asked Jesus into my heart. I became a new mom, wife, daughter, and friend. I became the version of myself that I should have chosen years prior. My greatest regret is not doing so sooner. 

Choose Jesus, He is the gift that brings healing to our soul.

If this post spoke to your heart and you’d like to press deeper in your prayer life, I’d love to invite you to explore Book one of my devotional series, His Name Is Jesus. It was written through the trials and struggles God used to shape my journey of prayer. May its words draw you closer to Him and remind you that everything God touches becomes beautiful.
