One of the biggest disappointments people experience is believing that healing will make them immune to pain.

It will not.

Healing does not eliminate human emotions.

You will still experience grief, disappointment, heartbreak, rejection, and loss.

The difference is that pain no longer destroys you in the same way.

Before healing, pain may have completely overwhelmed you.

After healing, pain still hurts, but it does not define you.

You learn that difficult emotions are temporary visitors.

You stop abandoning yourself during painful seasons.

You trust your ability to survive hard moments.

Healing does not promise a painless life.

It promises that pain will no longer control your entire story.

Sissy, healing does not make you untouchable.

It makes you resilient.

And resilience is one of the greatest gifts healing offers.
