YOU HAVE TO HEAL IT TO SEAL IT
Picture this....say you have an open wound that won't heal. You throw a bandaid on the wound and keep going hoping that in time it will heal. Not only does the wound not heal but it gets worse, it gets bigger, it's infected and now its starting to affect your health. You keep just throwing a bandaid on it, you complain about the wound with friends and family but you never treat the wound. Eventually the wound starts to impair your life in almost every area so you finally decide to go to the doctor to find out what is wrong with you. During the exam the doctor notices the wound and says well there is the source of your issues we have to treat that. You then tell the doctor oh no that's been there forever there's really no point in messing with it. The doctor tells you that leaving this wound untreated leaves you vulnerable to infection that can lead to illness of all kind especially if the infection gets in the blood stream which can then affect all the other systems of the body and worse case scenerio loss of a limb, extremity or even life. The doctor moves in to examine the wound, you flinch and pull away saying its painful and you'd rather they not touch it. You then tell them that you think you just need meds to treat the symptoms of the wound and things should be fine. The doctor replies that they agree you likely need meds to help clear up the infection however if you don't address the wound over time the meds won't make a difference because the wound is still there and you can only treat symptoms for so long. You tell him you will think about it but again you are just focused on getting rid of the symptoms more than healing the wound.
Are you getting the picture? Unhealed emotional wounds act just like a physical wound on the body. They provide access for the infection of lies, poor self-esteem, depression, anxiety, insecure attachments, body issues...etc, etc. This infection can and will spread and affect every area of our life. On a spiritual level they also act as a doorway for the enemy. The bible tells us the enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy and wounds are the primary way of access to do just that.
When you heal the wound you seal the access. Most people are treating the symptoms of their wounds because that feels safer than treating the wound. Wounds are indeed painful but you either feel short-term pain of the healing or long-term pain and loss by avoiding it either way there is pain.
