Closure is Elusive, Seek Healing Instead

At best, I’ve found that closure is often elusive. It may come for some, but I think it’s best not to count on it. Bad decisions made that involved you, doesn’t mean that you had any control over the situation. Don’t let other’s bad behavior control you and the way you feel. And don’t retaliate. That’s just more of them controlling you. Forgive, and find peace and contentment in healthy ways.

Perhaps you have made some bad decisions. Seek an inner healing from your past experiences. Better to cleanse your mind and soul from bad memories. Don’t let anger, bitterness, or an unforgiving attitude control you. Live for what God has planned for you in the future.

Why seek to reconcile with those who have rejected you? Seeking an apology and reconciliation with someone that has emotionally wounded you or me almost never happens. And if it ever does happen it won’t be on yours or my terms. The sooner we accept that the better off we are.

“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:32

I write inspirational devotions and family short stories. My devotions have been published on the web at: lovelinesfromgod.blogspot.com and ChristianDevotions.us. A few years ago, I self-published a book of how I've been helped in overcoming low grade depression. It's titled: You Are Valuable Don't Let Depression Get You Down by Patricia A. Jordan (ISBN 978-1-6642-7929-2). "Talk Therapy" with a trusted counselor has improved my mental health tremendously. I hope my book helps you if you decide to buy it.
