Redefining Relationships series: HEALING THE WOUNDED

An Introduction

By Queen Olashore

Heartbeat of God Publications

Every life carries a story.

Every story carries a wound.

Sometimes the wound is loud and obvious;

sometimes it is silent, buried beneath layers of strength, duty, and survival.

People smile, serve, lead, give, and function;yet behind the smiles may lie bruises that words never fully capture.Wounds of betrayal.Wounds of family jealousy.Wounds of comparison.Wounds of abandonment.

Wounds from relationships that broke the heart.Wounds from friendships that fractured without warning.Wounds from expectations that were never met.

These wounds are not physical,

yet they reshape how people love, trust, believe, relate, and see themselves.

A wounded heart becomes guarded.

A wounded heart becomes fearful.

A wounded heart misinterprets love, struggles with peace, and becomes allergic to vulnerability.

But there is hope.“There is a Balm in Gilead” a divine healing that goes deeper than human comfort, deeper than counselling, deeper than time,deeper than the mind’s ability to forget.God still heals.He heals the hidden places.He restores the broken pieces.He touches the memories that still sting.He revives the heart that has shut down from too many disappointments.

Healing the Wounded is a journey,a gentle but powerful pathway into emotional freedom, spiritual clarity, and inner restoration.

This introduction begins with the truth:

You cannot love well when you are bleeding within.

You cannot trust deeply when your heart is trembling.

Where healing is absent, fear becomes the interpreter of every relationship.

But when the wounded heart encounters God’s restoring power,it becomes whole again, strong again, open again and capable of healthy, joyful, destiny-driven relationships. This is where healing begins.This is where wholeness starts.

This is the invitation:

Come as you are and let the Healer touch the places you stopped talking about.
