No More Band-aids!!!!

"Take that band-aid off so some fresh air can get to it." I had heard this a thousand times growing up after falling and getting a scrape or cut. I did not know it then, but now I understand it. There was something Mama knew that I did not as a child. She knew the longer I kept the affected area covered the longer it would take to heal with chances of becoming infected. In many ways, our lives are the same way. We have been wounded and bruised by circumstances, situations, and people. Instead of healing from these things, we chose to cover them with band-aids like a fake smile, a hard exterior, or my particular brand of coverage, humor. The more the area we covered stayed unexposed the more we forgot about it until someone touched it, then the area got larger. I once heard,only a fool would put a band-aid on cancer, but so many of us have done this exact thing.In essence, we became familiar with our dysfunction in a comfort zone. I'm learning these days God cannot heal what I do not reveal. So I hope you will join me in saying NO MORE BAND-AIDS!!!

Time to leave our comfort zones....Enjoy!!!
