Healing That No Longer Fragments You)

So often in life, we build walls to protect ourselves.

Walls to keep out what hurt us.

Walls to guard wounds we never had space to heal.

Walls we thought would keep us safe.

But sometimes, those walls don’t just keep pain out—

they keep parts of us locked away too.

Becoming whole is the journey where healing no longer fragments you.

It’s when the parts of yourself you buried—

the ones that learned to stay quiet, guarded, or hidden—

are gently reclaimed.

Not to fight with who you are now.

But to belong with who you are becoming.

Wholeness isn’t about erasing the past.

It’s about integrating it.

It’s learning that the pieces of you shaped by pain

don’t have to live in conflict with your core self anymore.

They can be brought home.

Often, what we are really protecting is our inner child—

the part of us that was hurt before it knew how to defend itself.

A wound that never fully healed.

A moment that never fully resolved.

So we bury it.

We hide it.

We keep it contained.

Not realizing that what goes unhealed doesn’t disappear—

it finds other ways to speak.

It shows up in our relationships.

In our reactions.

In our fears.

In the places where we feel disconnected from ourselves.

Becoming whole is allowing God to heal those hidden places

so they no longer control us from the shadows.

It’s when your past stops pulling you apart

and begins to make sense within you.

And from that integration comes something sacred:

inner peace.

Not because nothing ever hurt you—

but because nothing inside you is at war anymore.

I am becoming whole.

Still becoming.

Reflection Question

What part of myself have I been protecting instead of healing?
