Stop Pushing the Shrapnel Back In: Why Healing Sometimes Hurts

Imagine being wounded by shrapnel. A skilled surgeon examines the injury and begins carefully removing the fragments so your body can heal. It hurts. It’s uncomfortable. But no one would choose to push those pieces deeper into the wound.

Yet many of us do exactly that with emotional pain.

When old hurts surface, we distract ourselves, suppress them, or convince ourselves we’ve already dealt with them. But what if God is allowing those emotions to emerge because He’s healing something deeper?
