Trauma is a Memory Hog

Description

Trauma, in its many forms, has a way of taking up space in our hearts and minds, often overshadowing the goodness that the Lord is constantly trying to pour into us. As Swedenborg reminds us, divine goodness is always flowing in, but it is up to us to remove the barriers that prevent its reception (Secrets of Heaven 2388). While acknowledging trauma is an essential first step, we must also be mindful not to let it dominate our thoughts. Through gratitude, we create room for healing, allowing the Lord’s light to illuminate our path. Whether through prayer, community support, or professional help, we are invited to turn toward hope, embracing the new life that God is always offering.
