Recently, I listened to a real cool song. It is called  “Healing Begins” by Tenth Avenue North. Have you heard it?

Here are some of the lyrics.

“So you thought you  had to keep this up

All the work that you do so we think that you’re good

And you can’t believe it’s not enough

All the walls you built up are just glass on the outside

So let’em fall down

There’s freedoms waiting in the sound

When you let your walls fall to the ground

We’re here now

This is where the healing begins, oh

This is where the healing starts

When you come to where you’re broken within

The light meets the dark, the light meets the dark....”

Why is it that so many of us are afraid to be real? We resort to putting on masks. We become so concerned as to what others think of us that we do not allow anyone into our inner world. The tragic part of this scenario is that when we hide our true selves we do not allow healing to occur. We may experience pain, hurt, frustrations, but we alter our communication and behaviors in such a way that interferes with God’s design for healing. Take a risk....break those walls down and share yourself, your true self, with someone you trust. This is where the healing begins. True freedom involves releasing your insecurities about what others think of you, so you can live an authentic and real life. Are you in? Get ready, set, and Go!
