“Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.” (Matthew 2:13 NKJV)
⁃ When Jesus was born king Herod wanted to find Him and kill Him. In the same way satan tries to do everything in his power to get us when we are young. When we have a calling on our life satan tries to stop that by sending situations and using people that will cause us a lot of trauma so we don’t fulfill our purpose with Daddy God. These situations can come through family members, relationships, friends, etc. Childhood trauma is real and affects how we do life as an adult. Childhood trauma can cause anger, resentment, bitterness, un-forgiveness, emotional unavailability, abandonment issues, can affect how we do any kind of relationship (family, friends & romantically) and so much more. If we are broken, unhealed and traumatized we won’t be able to fulfill our calling until all that is dealt with.
⁃ Healing is important and most people avoid it because it hurts so they rather try to take a shortcut and suppress the emotions but the anger, bitterness, resentment, etc just builds up and gets worse. These things never go away until you deal with them, you just get better at hiding it. You got to do the work to become a better you. There ain’t no shortcuts to growth.
