The negative experiences, and traumas of life can leave us wounded, afraid, angry, emotionally distant, and even physically ill. They can leave us with toxins in our soul that create negative patterns of behaviour, causing us to believe lies about ourselves, others, and even who God really is.  It's important for us to set aside time to embrace healing, and restoration of the soul. This will mean that we must forgive those who have hurt us, and allow God's love to begin to heal these places in our hearts. This restoration process is a journey that we all must walk if we want to become who we are created to be.
