A lady I know who is elderly,is beginning to loose her memory,and strange as it may seem she is becoming a nicer person.This dear person had a very difficult childhood,which she has never managed to get over.She carried those memories which caused her pain,and effected her spiritual growth. Can we overcome the bad memories?,now let us not underestimate the power of memories ,childhood or otherwise,in many ways we are all moulded by our past,for good or ill.So many people are prisoners of their past,abuse,traumatic events,poverty,broken marriages,the latter can have an effect on all who are involved.The question is, can things change?the fact of the matter many will never change,maybe they are to scared to change. Yet there many who would love to change,and cant,some do and are the better for it.Is it possible to change? well, it is a challenging question,is it possible?,yes, when it has accomplished its God given purpose.That purpose is two fold, to bring us to Christ,and to make us more like Christ.
The point is Christ is the answer,through Him change is possible,every possibility that you have sought the Lord,and seemingly nothing has happened,consider what He is accomplishing,that is more important than we realise.Next faith must be refined,has He given you a pacific word,well continue to seek the Lord claiming that particular word.
A prayer
Dear God we ask that you may hear our prayer,help us to understand Your will,give us the assurance that You would heal us of past hurtful memories,
in Jesus name. Amen/
