I am not sure where this is going to go - just a heads up ....
When all is said and done for the day- as I sit on my bed , in the quite my mind starts to run through things and conversations I had had that day. This day involved a conversation with my mom. As i ran back through that conversation I started to think of the talks we have had that have not ended so well - and it made me realize something I had not seen before. She has never ever truly apologized for anything she has done or said- yes she has written emails and said it in passing-( but most times it is me saying sorry and taking the blame that isn't mine) I would love to take these times and say that she means what she is saying - but I am really not sure....
That being said I have come to understand it this way - it is like a band aid.. meant to cover the wound for a time in hopes that it will heal some times in the near future - easy fix and move on... THAT DOESN'T WORK ! Because at the end of the day band aids- fall off or in my case get ripped off - thereby exposing the wound to more pain making it impossible to heal . What needs to happen I have come to realize is that those areas that right now are forbidden to heal- they need to be cauterized. That is the only way I can see these holes being able to shut. The dead infected flesh needs to be burnt away - for new healthy flesh to grow and replace it.
Having red hot medal - touch you is never fun- but in order to close a wound it is often necessary - in order to prevent or draw out infection that has or will set in - if the area is left untreated.
There is a lot of me that has been left alone - with easy to rip off band aids - in hopes that it will fix the issue- I realize now that a more evasive course of action most occur...
Now only to find a red hot piece of steal ..... It is not going feel nice - but it has to be done....

I believe in Ephesians 6:17, it says that the Sword of the Spirit is the Word of God, therefore use that as your red hot piece of metal.
Also, this reminds me of the passage in Isaiah 6 when Isaiah saw a vision of God and admitted that he was not clean and worthy to be commissioned before God for his task and verses 5-7 says,
"Woe to me!" I cried "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty."
"Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it, he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."
I can only imagine how that would have burned fiercely! But this was essential for purification purposes. I know yours is for healing purposes, but it is a similar concept. Read the story for yourself if you want. And read again about the armour of God! The Bible is God's book, written for us. Use it as your greatest tool and guidance and weapon! And of course, continue to pray through all of these things and we will too. Do not tire of prayer. It is your access to God!
