YOUR WOUND IS WHERE YOUR LIGHT COMES IN - Elvira Jordan



YOUR WOUND IS WHERE YOUR LIGHT  COMES IN - Elvira Jordan


Good Morning Beloved! 🧑


For those of us who had a smooth childhood filled with love, care and guidance from our families and everyone; with all your mental, emotional and spiritual needs met without stress at a young age, this message may seem a little vague to us.


But for those of us who are still struggling with our childhood traumas that were brought about by a difficult and traumatic childhood, characterized by the lack of love, care, training and support from the people around their childhood, painful experiences, tragedies etc… this will resonate to a large extent.


If you categorize yourself among the people who were raised with close family ties, very minimal tragedies or none, no traumatizing childhood experiences, when people who grew on the other side begin to explain how their lives were affected by these “little” aspects of a child’s life that are vital to adulthood, you who had love, care, guidance and a jolly life in abundance would not understand.


There are people who have dragged themselves through some of the most unbearable childhood traumas ever experienced, some still struggling with these traumas, while others are just choosing to live in denial and wear their pain like a beloved coat, inflicting such pains on those around them.


It is a sad truth that a lot of people are walking about with open wounds that were inflicted by their upbringing, others fighting with their lives to heal, while other just keep bruising and reopening those wounds through repeated learned patterns.


These wounds are usually not seen by mere looking because they are mental and subconscious patterns that make up our personal character, lifestyle, belief system, attitudes, relationships style etc.


The people with the deepest wounds and traumas are usually the people who seem strange, different, misunderstood, hated, and judged.


This is because the world will not understand that while the people with better childhood experiences find it easy to fit into the society, the group with childhood traumas are learning about themselves everyday, struggling to fit into the world with their unusual circumstances and patterns.


Due to this conflict of understanding, the misunderstood groups are often excluded or they personally choose to exclude themselves because of the difficulty to fit in.


Childhood traumas are not excuses for bad behavior but for those with such traumas, it is the best explanation to learned patterns.


Some people carry their traumas on their heads like a priced property they possess, daily wounding themselves and inflicting similar injuries on their families and loved ones,  especially their children.


However, there are others who have chosen a part of healing, daily making efforts to amend the negative patterns brought about by their negative childhood experiences.


Those who succeed in healing these patterns become a spectacle of Light because these wounds when healed, are like holes that allow the Divine Light to shine through to the world. The special ones. The Chosen. The Gifted. The Lifted.


Not that those with a bright childhood are not special, we all are… but those with more difficult childhood experiences were being trained to be vessels and tools for God’s work to be carried out differently in the world.


Today, I want to urge us to be patient with the people around us. Not condoning bad behaviors but simply understanding that everyone’s reaction and attitude is a manifestation of where they are coming from. Some people have had it rough and harsh on different levels.


For those of us who have recognized certain negative patterns that were brought about by childhood traumas, it is time to quit pampering our traumas, and to start taking conscious steps towards healing, so we will not bleed on ourselves and the people around us.


When we heal, we open ourselves up to God for His work to be done on us, with us, around us and through us.


That negative pattern when healed, becomes your shinning point, your light, your strengths, your purpose.


Heal Yoursleves and Heal Your Generation.


Bible Verse: Hosea 6:1: 

“Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces but He will heal us; He has injured us but He will bind up our wounds.”

(Jer. 33:6, Isa. 40:29, Psa 147:3)



Prayer: 

Dear Lord, let Your spirit move through me and heal all that is broken, that I will rise up in Your Glory, to declare the beauty of Your Grace and Mercy, shinning in Your gift of Excellence. Amen

THE STORY OF THE PROSTITUTE WHO BECAME THE ONLY FEMALE KING OF ENUGU-EZIKE

#history ✍️  Ahebi Ugbabe was a prostitute and businesswoman from Enugu-Ezike who later became the only female king in British-Nigeria.  Ugbabe, who was the first and last king of Enugu-Ezike, ruled her people for 30 years until her death in 1948.
