In Old Testament times, you could not serve as a priest if you had a scab, which is an unhealed wound.
To help someone with their unresolved issues, you must first deal with your own. If the medicine you're offering hasn't made you whole, you will have no credibility when you try to apply it to the lives of others.
Does that mean if you have unresolved issues, God won't use you? No, it's the broken who become masters at mending. But first you must take time to be healed. It's hard to talk about victory when you're experiencing defeat.
When you're bleeding spiritually and emotionally, you can't treat people's problems with the same kind of aggressive faith you would have if you had already worked through the problem. Is it wrong to have a broken heart? No, for God 'heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds' (Psalm 147:3 NKJV). So let God make you whole so he can use you.
I pray the Lord who delivers the righteous from all his afflictions gives you clues to resolve issues around you in Jesus name. And he will use you to restore others also in Jesus name. Amen.
Good morning and do have a lovely week.
