Many ask, "What are soul wounds and why do we have them?" Soul wounds are the torment of the Christian soul. They are painful inner issues that live just beneath the surface of our emotions. They are the most agonizing inner problem of the spiritual heart. Soul wounds are caused by a traumatic experience such as rape, molestation, neglect, physical or verbal abuse, or by any negative or hurtful incident.
It is a fact that all of us have soul wounds at one time or another but some wounds can cause deep emotional scars. Those from childhood are easily triggered in adult relationships and often surface during marital strife. Wounds formulated in our psyches as children generally occurred when our mothers and/or fathers withheld support, nurturing or attention.
The symptoms of a soul wound may be a life of confusion or despair. Are you engaging in excess eating or are you obese? The culprit may be a crippling soul wound. Today, Christians seek help from their pastors and Soul Care Counselors who have a deep understanding of the Gospel's power to transform lives. We all mask our pain at certain levels but when given the opportunity many can transform their lives for a happiness previously unknown.
A soul wound begins to heal when we take responsibility for it and stop blaming other's for its existence. What is the benefit of addressing a soul wound? Everything.
