““The problem with ‘woundedness’, is that there are no quick fixes for it outside of the healing power of Christ. As we grow with our wounds, we develop habits and routines that help us deal with them. We think that these defense mechanisms are protecting us – when in reality they are preventing us from acknowledging our pain, turning to God, and seeking healing. In fact, those defense mechanisms, cruel as it may sound, are also sin. We have denied that God has the power to help us; we decide that it is all up to us. Does this sound familiar? ‘And you shall be LIKE GOD!!!’ Nothing keeps God from reaching down and helping us, more than pride – even if that pride comes from a desperate attempt to heal our own wounds.
