Trauma leaves a victim. Said victim moves past trauma with a choice; 1) succumb to the trauma, letting it become definitive or 2) forgiving the perpetrator of the trauma the way Christ forgives us.
“If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming. In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator” (ESV Bible, 2001, Colossians 3:1-10).
We are made new in light of our sin because we choose to turn to God and away from sin. Our new home, a new Jerusalem, in heaven is our destiny in Christ. We can say goodbye to the sins of this world and be comforted in our struggle, knowing we are temporary visitors on earth.
We hope that my story encourages you and that you find application. We pray that our message today has encouraged you and that you will seek the Bible more fervently than ever. Blessing to you our brothers and sisters.
Stress is not the goal, be well.
— Daniel Miller, Ed.S., C.S.C.S.
