Why hiding your pain won't help you heal

Author

I don't know who needs to hear this, but stop trying to fix yourself in the dark. Stop trying to hide your pieces and glue them back together where no one can see.
​Because the Bible says that God prepares a table for you in the presence of your enemies. And I believe that means God is going to put you back together in front of the people who broke you. >
He’s not going to do it in secret. He’s going to do it out in the open, so that the very people who thought you were finished, the very people who thought you were done for, have to sit there and watch Him restore you, watch Him bless you, and watch Him make you better than you were before you ever met them.
That is from a video I watched on Facebook.

this is beautiful. but i’m curious… do you feel more comfort in the idea of them seeing you restored, or in just knowing you’ll be okay no matter who’s watching

I feel more comfort in knowing that one day I will be restored. I don't really care who is or isn't watching. I'm just looking forward to being back at my baseline.

i used to try to “heal quietly” after my ex cheated. like i didn’t want anyone to see how broken i was. i was embarrassed. but the truth is, the glow up didn’t happen in secret. people who saw me at my WORST also saw me rebuild. and yeah… there’s something powerful about that. not even in a revenge way. just in a “you didn’t destroy me” way

I agree. I think there is something powerful about not hiding your pain and being vulnerable and letting people see you struggle. it isn't vain for people to see you heal and grow. I think it only becomes revenge if you hope that the other person doesn't heal or grow.
