I recently had a set back in my faith. And the enemy tried to make me think that I was broken. I am not broken, I am healing.
The trick of the enemy is to get you to speak lies into your own life, and the lie I was telling myself was that I was broken because of recent difficulties that caused me to slump back into a place I was once familiar with. I came to my senses before the situation got any worse and prayed for forgiveness. It is a constant battle in our flesh against or spirit. The flesh put up a few good rounds but I know who I am and whose I am. The truth is, I am the child of the most high God. 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. God will never leave me nor forsake me any good thing. But what he did was humble me enough to recognize my faults and confess my sin to Him.
I am not broken, I am healing. It is like surgery. Surgery is performed because there is an issue in the body, however the surgery often feels worse and increases the painfulness of the issue. The purpose of the surgery is not to inflict more pain but to fix the problem. Even though it may hurt, surgery is for improvement and healing. I have had mental and emotional surgery and I am still recovering, for that I am thankful. The journey is not yet over, meaning there may still be some ensuing pain, but I am confident that the good work the Lord started in me will be perfected at it's appointed time.
