An except from the introduction to Hearing My Heart for Hopes & Healing by Marie L. Bourdeau
The more honest you are, the deeper the healing. It may be hard, but it is worth the effort! Honest journalling reveals what hurts our heart. When we hear our heart, and recognize the pain, we are ready to let God show us what we need to see to acknowledge our pain, giving ourselves permission to seek His guidance and help to move forward. Take time to be kind to yourself. It is a process. It takes courage. You have courage, and you are worth the effort.
Jesus is always with us. He will lead you through any pain and onto paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. He is the true Healer and journalling is one of the tools that allows us to reveal how many of us learned to survive, and things we kept hidden, for safety sake, in our childhood. Now is the time to be curious, discover, and let God heal for the purpose of improving your joy and life.
