MIND INCARCERATED ..... Free at Last

MIND – INCARCERATED ……………… free at last

I have not posted for a while, however, it has not been due to a lack of experiences & life lessons I could share, but rather an overflow of memories flooding my mind, wreaking havoc in my dandelion mind.  I re-lived every chapter, and without me realising it, I once again became a prisoner within the chambers of my heart, closing in to the world around me. 

Being vulnerable in my previous posts was harder than I could imagine, but having to work through the past again, chapter by chapter was so worth it, because I can now share my dandelion mind, and SHOUT from the rooftops that I AM FREE AT LAST!  I do hope that you will once again journey with me through each chapter and know that you are the author of your life, you decide when to start a chapter or when to just sit and enjoy the chapter you are in.

When you have experienced trauma throughout your life, it is natural to refer to what you are used to in every situation, the familiar, even if it means insecurity, anxiety and depression.  The more you hold onto what was, you will never be free to have what was meant for you. 

Love is one of the most crucial part of healthy connections, of living your purpose.  Through love you trust, believe, laugh, hope and conquer every obstacle life can throw at you.  When we close our hearts to love and to be loved, we impose a life sentence that can ultimately cause us to die, whilst still being alive.  When we get hurt, we automatically close our hearts off, building walls where we feel safe, where no one can hurt you.  Is this really true, or are we just trapped in an Orphan Heart?

What causes an orphan’s heart?

A person with an orphan’s heart is not a child in a faraway country without a family. A person with an orphan’s heart is a person whose heart is emotionally and spiritually closed.  The orphan's heart shuts down when the person does not feel loved and accepted by their parents or the people who are in authority over them in the formative years of their life. When a child starts to close their heart, it is because they do not know anything else. A child is still learning and forming their understanding of the world around them.  Some people will allow their heart to close as they get older. When an adult closes their heart, it is a choice they make.  When a child believes they are not loved, or feels rejected from their earthly father, then they will struggle greatly with love from God, their Heavenly Father, as well. The more they feel rejected, the harder it is for them to forgive.

Satan took on an orphan’s heart when he was cast out of Heaven. He wasn't rejected by his Father, he was the one who did the rejecting, but he embraced an orphan’s heart just the same. Now his desire is to have everyone become an orphan as well. He knows that if he can keep people from knowing the true love of Father God, they will not be free.  The heart of love is only proven by the persecution that it will endure. When we are not able to forgive the ones that hurt us, no matter what they did, we cannot walk in freedom. When we allow the pain and rejection of the past to drag us down, it will destroy us.  The bondage of the past will drive us to seek unhealthy relationships or act in wrong ways.  The only way to walk in peace and freedom is to reconcile with our past. We have to put all things into perspective by understanding the truth about who we are.  Real and true freedom can only happen when we are able to forgive the people that were not there for us.  Being angry and unforgiving is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies. The other person is moving on with life and you are the one that is suffering because you cannot stop holding onto it.

Let’s stop at this point, please follow for part 2 of the Orphan Heart where we will learn to breath, let go and experience what we were destined for
