I had a post regarding pain, and one thing is missing. It is listening. We need someone who can listen to us, just listen. Someone who will hear what we have experienced. It is part of the healing process. The first step is for us to really just listen and reaffirm what we are hearing. Haven’t you just felt better if you could just talk to someone. If you want to put your feelings down, you remain anonymous, and I would not mind just being a listener. I spoke to a woman who is in her 50’s, and she had been keeping a secret for many long years. During her marriage, she already had several children and she and her husband agreed to abort their last child. Now, as a Christian, she feels bad about her decesion. What she needed, was someone to come along beside her and listen and to let her know that no matter what, God loves her and forgives her. She will one day meet that child, in heaven. Please find someone who can listen, just listen. Once you take that step you will be ready to begin the process of healing.
