I think a lot of women are moving around with wounded hearts. Ladies who wounded you? Ngubani okuphe leso silonda?

1. Was it the father who rejected you at birth?

2. The mother who loved your sisters more than you?

3. The relatives who ill-treated you after your parents died?

4. The classmates who made fun out of your disability?

5. The teacher who always picked on you?

6. The neighbourhood that labelled you a slut because you fell pregnant as a teenager (what they don't know is that you only did it once under duress and you didn't even enjoy it!)

7. the boyfriend who promised to marry you but broke your heart?

8. The in-laws who never accepted you? (Pane wavaida asina kuzoroorwa and because zange ahlale isn't ungene emzini wabo she'll always be a saint!)

9. The relatives who never accepted your husband (he rich enough, educated enough, he behaves badly, he comes from Tsholotsho blah blah blah – hello you have noticed just how happy he makes her?!!! At the end of the day isn't that all that matters?)

10. The mother-in-law who is always causing trouble between you and your husband?

11. The husband who cheated on you?

12. The husband who left you and went live with another woman then sold your house without you knowing?

13. The woman who not only stole your husband but is now turning your own kids against you?

14. The husband who concentrates on his side of family and completely ignores yours?

15. The husband who beat you and kicked you out of your home?

16. The best friend who had an affair with your husband right under your nose?

17. The in-laws who are saying horrible things to you because you have been married for awhile and you don't have kids yet? ( You wonder ukuthi angimfuni umtwana na? And why do they assume that lm the one with the problem?)

18. The people especially parents and relatives who have said harsh words to you because you have reached a certain age and are not yet married?

19. The church ladies who rejected you because you are a single mom?( Vanotya kutorerwa varume vavo they don't know ukuthi indoda is the last thing on your mind you have been hurt enough now you just want to raise your kids.)

20. The people who judge you because of your HIV status? (The sad truth is that they have never been tested themselves or if they are negative their spouses are not as promiscuous as yours.)

21. The colleagues who gossiped about you?

22. The boss who gave someone else credit for the work you did?

23. The in-laws who took everything from you after your husband died?

24. Grown up children who have forgotten that they have a mother?

Whatever the case may be wakakuvara mudikani you have a wound. The sad thing is if a wound is left untreated it gets infected and can even become septic. Chironda chikasarapwa chinoora chonhuhwa vasikana and it affects the whole body! The Bible says Keep (guard) thy heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23 The heart is the wellspring of life it determines the course of our lives. You can imagine the issues that come out of a wounded heart that has been left untreated. The next time you see a sister behaving badly don't be too quick to judge –maronda!!!! A wounded heart will produce bitterness, anger, resentment, rage….. haasi kuzviitisa veduwe maronda!!! Chinonetsa some people don't even realize how much they have hurt you! Worse still vanoziva vacho will try to turn it around and make it your fault – they wiil tell you that you deserved it you asked for it you caused it!!! Some just wont apologise period!

Fortunately we have a God who cares about the condition of our hearts. He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3 Isaiah 61:1. My sister God is able to bind up your wounds and heal you. Take time to think about the wounds that have been inflicted upon you and speak healing to yourself at the same time releasing the people who have hurt you. If you have hurt someone else ask for their forgiveness and pray for their healing as well. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you its not something that you can do on your own. God is even able to create a clean heart in you if the wounds have made it filthy before Him Psalm 51:10. Vakachena pamoyo ndivo vachaona Mwari. Ladies lets claim this as our time for healing Ecclesiastes 3:3. I pray for all the wounded sisters to receive their healing – receive it in JESUS' NAME AMEN.
