"**𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝: 𝐑𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝, 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐈 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐬𝐚𝐲, 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞.” Because what stood out to me most clearly was the word “devastated.” It carried such depth. As I leaned in, I realized that many in the body of Christ were looking at parts of their lives and hearts and feeling deep sorrow! And places that had been taken away, broken, and left barren.

These were areas affected by long-standing war, despair, loss, and constant pressure. Many felt tired, discouraged, and emotionally drained as they looked at what had been devastated. Yet, in that moment, I felt the Lord’s heart drawing ever closer. There was a powerful sense of His mercy, His comfort, and His victory surrounding those who were grieving. I heard the Lord say, “My people, I see your sorrow. I see how, naturally, these places appear devastated. You see devastation, but I see salvation already at work.”

The Lord has made it clear that what the enemy wanted to destroy forever, God is now turning into good. He is not far from the pain! Because He has been present in every moment. Devastation did not disqualify you; it prepared you for a greater encounter with His healing power. The Lord says, “Draw close to Me. Stay close to My heart and listen to My voice.” Because when you trust Him, He doesn’t just speak words of strength and comfort! He offers profound comfort. Comfort that doesn’t come from effort, striving, or human solutions, but comfort that comes directly from His Spirit.

The Lord is bringing comfort to places where there was only stress, alertness, and fatigue. He is calming the hearts that were constantly on the verge of attack. He is bringing peace back to places where damage has been repeatedly inflicted. This comfort will heal, replenish, and renew you from within. And the Lord says, “This is the time for the glorious display of My reward and healing.” You will no longer feel trapped in a constant state of devastation. Instead, you will experience a depth of comfort, trust, and security in Him that you have never known before. His Word will begin to work in your life with unique power and clarity.

As you continue to trust Him, you will see clear changes in places that never seemed right. The devastation has been great! But the coming restoration will be even greater. The Lord says that what was destroyed, devastated, uprooted, stolen, and plundered will be completely restored. Nothing will be missing. Nothing will be incomplete. Not a trace of the devastation will remain. And the Lord says, “You will not emerge from this season wounded, but healed. You will not emerge weakened, but strengthened. You will not emerge weakened, but renewed and whole.”

A divine strength is being received! An endurance that comes not from human intention but from His Spirit. Because where confusion once blurred your vision, there is now clearer vision. Where there was confusion, understanding is returning. Your ability to hear His voice clearly is being restored!! The Lord says that the very areas where the enemy attacked most fiercely will now become places of authority, revelation, and victory. What once caused pain will now give purpose. What once caused fear will now give courage.

Women now account for nearly 80% of all autoimmune disorders. But what’s fueling this disproportionate rise? Scientists have uncovered a compelling link between chronic emotional suppression and immune system dysfunction.

When stress is held in and not released, especially over long periods, it creates a hormonal storm inside the body. This continuous stress response overstimulates the immune system, making it more likely to misfire and attack healthy tissues. That’s what autoimmune diseases are the body’s defense system turning on itself.

Women are often taught to stay composed, avoid confrontation, and internalize emotions. Over time, this emotional bottling can wreak havoc on both the nervous and immune systems. What looks like resilience on the outside may be hiding deep physiological stress that silently breaks down the body from within.

Recent findings point to a powerful mind-body connection. Addressing emotional trauma, learning to express feelings openly, and adopting stress-reduction habits like journaling, therapy, breathwork, or even dance and movement can protect long-term health.

Autoimmune conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis aren’t just physical in origin. They may be triggered or worsened by long-term psychological strain. The solution may begin not just with medication but with healing what's unspoken.

True strength lies not in silence, but in release, connection, and reclaiming emotional balance.

Wheew! I stumbled across something today that shifted the ground beneath me in the quietest way.

Gabor Maté was talking with Mel Robbins on her podcast, and he said something so simple it felt dangerous:

"No two children grow up in the same home. Even with the same parents."

I had to stop what I was doing and sit with that.

Because he's absolutely right.

The parent who raised the first child isn't the same person raising the third. By then, they've been reshaped by years, by disappointments, by small victories and accumulated exhaustion. The father might have softened with time or hardened from unmet expectations. The mother might have found her voice or lost it somewhere in the survival of keeping everyone fed and functioning. The marriage that held the first baby might be thriving by the second or unraveling by the third.

And the circumstances? They morph too. The family that struggled when one child was small might be stable when another arrives. Or the reverse. The house that felt full of possibility once might feel heavy with regret later.

Then there's us. The children. We arrive with different temperaments, different sensitivities, different ways of interpreting the exact same gesture. One child feels seen in silence; another feels erased by it. One flourishes under routine; another suffocates. The same embrace means safety to one and obligation to another.

Same roof. Same parents. Completely different childhoods.

This realization made me reconsider every story I've told myself about my family. How I've spent years comparing notes with siblings, arguing about whose memory is accurate, whose experience was valid. But maybe we were all right. Maybe we *were* each raised by different parents because our parents became different people between each of us.

And perhaps the real work of adulthood is making peace with this multiplicity. Forgiving the version of our parents who didn't have it to give. Honoring the version who gave anyway, despite having nothing left. Understanding that the love was genuine even when it wore completely different faces for each of us.

Because love isn't a fixed thing. It's organic, evolving, sometimes depleting, sometimes replenishing. Just like the flawed, beautiful, exhausted people trying their best to offer it.
