You can run, but you can’t hide. How many times have you heard that statement? I know I have. I can remember times in my own life when I was running and you know what…wherever I went…there I was. Imagine that! You can run, but you cannot heal yourself until you are willing to stop and acknowledge the areas of your life that you have kept hidden, knowingly or unknowingly. The hidden areas in your life are the secrets and shame that keep you from loving yourself and walking in truth. Those dark areas are what keep you from healing and ultimately loving yourself for the person you are. They are crying out for the light to shine on them. That light is called LOVE.

The first step in this healing journey to wholeness is to recognize that there are areas in your life that need healing. Accepting and allowing love to flow into those areas of your life that need healing is like lighting a candle in a dark room. The brighter the candle, the brighter the room will be. So let love and truth (light) enter the dark areas (shame and secrets) of your life. As you begin to love yourself, the hold that secrets and shame have on you will lessen and lessen.

Life is about time and we will seek help when we are ready. We should not look to another person to judge whether or not he is ready for healing, because we have not walked in his footsteps. Rather, all we can do is be a light to them. Do you have secrets that keep you from walking in truth and being the person you know you should be? Surrender now and allow LOVE to flood you. That’s right, when you’re open and ready to reveal those areas of your life that need healing, the right person, book, blog, audio, or video will show up at the right time. So please don’t blame yourself for not ‘getting it’ sooner. The only thing that feeling will do is stop you from healing yourself. Instead, stop and be thankful that you are open and aware of your need for healing.

Stop now wherever you are and say thank you for this awareness and trust yourself that you have the strength and courage to begin your healing journey to wholeness. As we heal ourselves and walk in the light, we represent the hope of healing others. Hope, healing and love are available for the asking. Start by making a conscious decision to heal the areas of your life that need healing and walk in love.
