EXERT FROM "THE BOOK"

Inspiration for title: "I Hate It When My Soul Is Crying" Ginger


Part 1


"just how do you find the light after you have been in the dark for so long? What does it take to fix this horrendous crack in your soul after it has festered for decades?
The answer is simple, yet so very complicated. Not many will ever be able to truly grasp it. I am praying I am one of the few who does.

The answer is the Cross."

Isaiah 53: 5

"But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was a crushed for our inequities; upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with His stripes we are healed."

"So knowing this truth should make it easy for me to say, my soul is whole!! I am no longer cracked and can now find true joy. However, because I have allowed Satan to distract me from truly knowing the truth. . .or even more so, experiencing it. . . now I have to learn how to reroute my thinking. Do you know how hard that is? It means I have to let go of everything, everything I have ever known and become completely vulnerable. Now, I am guessing that if your soul has been as cracked as mine, vulnerability is probably not in your vocabulary. Becoming vulnerable means, YOU ARE GOING TO GET HURT! And, isn't that our number one goal as "cracked soul survivors". . .to protect ourselves from becoming anymore cracked than we already are?"

I leave you with: THERE WILL NEVER BE GREAT FAITH WITHOUT GREAT RISK!
