"OctoberBaby"

"I have so many questions, no answers, I am not sure who I am anymore, I am stuck." (paraphrased) Hannah found she was a failed abortion and adopted. Feeling unwanted and lost, she sets out to seek answers. She knows that "the truth shall set us free." (a diary post of hers). Yet, once answers were found, the emotional pain still remained. Like most of us, our carnal mind tells us that if we can just make sense of life's situations and the harm peeps have done to us, then the hurt feelings, guilt, fear, loneliness, etc. will disappear and we will be OK. Isn't that the role of psychologists/psychiatrists?

Further in the movie Hannah discovers all the facts about her birth mother, BUT the pain remains. The truth she needed was not answers to her questions, but the reality that since God has forgiven her much, she is free to forgive those who have harmed her. Nothing anyone has done to us is worse than our being naturally at enmity with God. Yet, He acted on our behalf to restore His relationship with us. This is the Kingdom mind which heals and restores and puts us in harmony with others and with the Heavenlies, the well being of our soul.

Not only was Hannah free by forgiving those who had abandoned her and withheld the truth from her for years, burdens were lifted from those who had received forgiveness. Healing and restoration for all.

So when we believe we must get all the answers to the crazy and confusing things life throws our way to be OK, just remember its letting the questions and quest for answers go and trusting what God has done for us and says about us that frees us and makes us OK.

something certainly worth pondering ....
