My son’s Olaf bandaid. He’s extremely proud of it.
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord.
Ephesians 5:19
My 4-year-old son recently hurt himself after a fall while running outside. He was afraid to share with me his wound because he didn’t want me to treat it, fearing that the treatment would burn. So instead of showing me the cut on his knee, he hid it from me. But as soon as I saw it, I knew that I had to treat it right away because when we don’t reveal our physical scars, we cannot heal. What’s true for our physical wounds is also true for our spiritual and emotional wounds, which is why it’s so important to speak to one another with prayers, celebrations of the spirit, and mournings of our hearts.
We learned together last Sunday that revealing leads to healing. We reveal to heal through confession, expression, and recognition. How are you regularly revealing your heart with God and people you trust?
