As we come to the cross and look up, we see Jesus suffering for us, loving us, and dying for us. “Greater love has no man than this, that He lay down His life for His friends” (1 John 3:16).
Some people aren’t sure they are His friends, they feel more like His enemy. Well, He even died for His enemies: “For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!” (Romans 5:10 NIV).
And as we look to Him at the cross, and believe what we are seeing, we begin to receive and experience His love in our hearts and healing begins.

Human beings can be captive to all sorts of things. We can become captive to drugs, alcohol, impurity, food, exercise, religion, family, work, fear, thrill-seeking, and a million other things. We can be captive to depression, to the darkness that comes with it, to the isolation and loneliness that we feel.
I never knew many of the symptoms I experienced over my lifetime were connected to the trauma I experienced during my life. Trauma experiences can remain in our body even though we may not even remember the trauma.
I have been held captive to food, exercise, people, religion, fear and depression. I put these above God at some time in my life. I went to these instead of God with my emptiness; and still felt empty.
These are the very things from which Jesus came to set us free. We noticed that Jesus’ first work was to the heart: He came to heal hurting hearts, to mend broken hearts, to help the brokenhearted. This is first because every issue in life flows from the heart (Proverbs 4:23). As Jesus works in our hearts, giving us grace and love, our hearts start to heal, they become alive and are enlarged with His love.
And as our hearts are fixed and mended, we begin to experience freedom from captivity. Notice this wonderful passage:
Psalms 69:32-33 ESV When the humble see it they will be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive. (33) For the LORD hears the needy and does not despise his own people who are prisoners.

ACTION STEP: I can honestly say, I experienced all 5 physical effects of trauma in my body. I can also say, that God has healed me in many areas and I am still expecting to receive my healing that Jesus already purchased for us all. Not sure about Somatic Experiencing but it is something I am looking into for more information. Anyone gone through this? I would love to hear from you.
I always run to my Father God first and foremost, but if there is anything else that is not immoral or illegal then I have no problem looking in to it. So, keep on this journey with me and as I learn I will be sharing.
I believe in you! You need to believe in you too!
