“Honor your father and your mother, so that it may go well with you…” — This isn’t a suggestion. It’s a spiritual law. A command from God. And when we break it, something in us—and around us—breaks too.”
Sis, I need you to hear this with your heart wide open:
Some of the battles you’re facing—disappointments, delays, confusion, sadness, spiritual heaviness—are not random. They’re connected to dishonor.
Yes.
Dishonor opens gates.
When we speak against, rebel against, or curse our mother or father—whether they were godly or broken—we invite distress into our own lives. We tear down the very covering God set over us. And that torn covering leaves us exposed.
Exposed to what?
➡️ Emotional torment
➡️ Confusion and fear
➡️ Delayed promises
➡️ Sickness in the body and soul
➡️ Open doors to witchcraft, tormenting spirits, and family cycles of destruction
Honor is protection.
Even if your parents failed you, even if they wounded you, the Lord never gave you permission to dishonor. He gave you permission to forgive. To bless. To release. And He gave you an invitation to repentance—for your sake.
You don’t repent because they were perfect and no one is perfect but God. You repent because you want to be free.
ACTIVATION: A MOMENT OF TRUTH
Close your eyes. Ask the Holy Spirit:
-
Have I dishonored my parents in word, thought, or deed?
-
Have I held on to resentment and rebellion?
-
Is there unfinished repentance in my life that’s keeping doors open to destruction?
If the answer is yes…
Don’t justify. Don’t delay. Repent.
PRAY THIS WITH ME:
“Jesus, I repent for every way I dishonored my mother and father—through words, attitudes, and actions. Whether in pain, rebellion, or pride, I see now that I sinned against You. Please forgive me. Wash me clean. I close every door opened to torment, sadness, delay, and confusion. I cancel every right the enemy has claimed over my life through dishonor. Holy Spirit, come. Dwell in me. No other spirit is welcome. I choose freedom. I choose honor. I choose You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
CLOSING CHARGE:
Daughter, you can’t walk in full freedom while dragging the chains of dishonor.
Release it. Repent. Rise.
Let the generational curses stop with you—and let the blessings begin.
Let me say this straight: the moment you stop letting your emotions run your life is the moment you become untouchable.
I’m not talking about being cold. I’m not talking about pretending. I’m talking about being a woman who knows exactly who she is and refuses to hand over her peace to anybody or anything.
Too many of us are walking around exhausted—not because we’re weak, but because we’re emotionally tied to everything. People’s opinions. Their energy. Their chaos. We’re carrying battles that don’t even belong to us. And it’s keeping us bound.
But listen to me: you are not here to be tossed around by life. You were created to be grounded, strong, clear. You were born to walk through the storm and not even flinch.
I’ve learned this the hard way: when you react to every comment, every mood, every insult—you give away your power. You let the world control your temperature. But when you master the art of emotional detachment, you take your power back.
You become the woman who doesn’t beg, doesn’t chase, doesn’t crumble. You become the woman who speaks when it matters and moves in silence when it doesn’t.
This is what I’ve learned:
- Composure is power.
- Peace is a weapon.
- Silence is strategy.
Not everyone deserves access to your emotions. Not every situation deserves a reaction. Some things are meant to be ignored—not because you’re afraid, but because you’re focused. And focus is your fire.
When they try to provoke you, and you don’t flinch—you win. When you get rejected, and still keep moving—you rise. When chaos comes and you remain unshaken—you dominate.
That’s emotional power. That’s what happens when you stop letting your feelings drive the wheel.
So how do you build it? You start by pausing. Before you speak. Before you react. Ask yourself: “Is this worth my energy?” Because every time you react to foolishness, you delay your focus.
You train yourself. Daily. With discipline. With prayer. With silence. You practice walking away from what triggers you and walking toward what strengthens you.
And sis—visualize her. The version of you that’s free, focused, unshaken. She exists. She’s waiting for you to show up as her. Over and over again.
We don’t have time to fall apart over every small thing. We’ve got healing to walk in. We’ve got purpose to birth. We’ve got peace to protect.
You’re not made for breakdowns—you’re made for breakthroughs.
So today, I declare it over you: You are unbroken. You are unmoved. You are unbothered.
Let the world do what it does. You? You stay locked in. Let the storms come. You? Don’t flinch.
This is your season to rise, unshaken. Let’s go.
I know what it’s like to grieve—not just the loss of a person, but the loss of love, trust, and even the version of myself I once knew. Grief isn’t just about death; it’s about the deep sorrow that comes when life shatters in ways we never expected. Betrayal, rejection, loneliness—they all bring a kind of grief that lingers in the heart, making us question if we’ll ever be whole again.
At Healed to Love, we don’t ignore grief. We face it, feel it, and walk through it with purpose—not to stay stuck in the pain, but to heal, rise, and embrace the love God still has for us. Healing isn’t about forgetting what happened; it’s about allowing God to restore what was broken and teaching our hearts to love again.
How Do We Heal Through Loss and Pain?
- Acknowledging the Pain – You don’t have to pretend to be okay. Jesus Himself wept (John 11:35). Healing starts with honesty.
- Surrendering to God’s Process – It’s not about rushing through the pain but trusting God to walk you through it (Psalm 34:18).
- Replacing Lies with Truth – Grief whispers, “You’re alone,” but God says, “I will never leave you” (Deuteronomy 31:8).
- Choosing Healing Over Bitterness – Pain can make us hard, but healing softens us to love again, trust again, and hope again (Ezekiel 36:26).
- Opening Our Hearts to Love Again – Healed to Love isn’t just about recovering; it’s about thriving, stepping into the love and purpose God still has for you.
Grief may have knocked you down, but you don’t have to stay there. Your heart was created for love, and through healing, God will restore what you thought was lost. Keep walking, keep believing—your story isn’t over. ❤️
WHEN TRUSTING GOD FEELS IMPOSSIBLE—BUT YOU DO IT ANYWAY
Have you ever cried out to God, only to feel like the heavens are silent?
Have you ever placed your trust in Him, only to watch everything around you fall apart?
I know that place.
I know what it feels like to beg God for answers and be met with nothing but silence.
I know what it feels like to wonder if He sees, if He hears, if He even cares.
I know what it’s like to wake up in the middle of the battle, surrounded by enemies, crushed by betrayal, drowning in heartbreak, and thinking—God, where are You?
But let me tell you something—faith isn’t built in the easy places.
Faith is built in the fire.
Faith is tested in the waiting.
Faith grows when trusting God feels like the hardest thing to do.
Because trust is not a feeling.
It’s a choice.
THE ENEMY DOES NOT GET THE FINAL SAY
“I trust in You; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.” (Psalm 25:2)
David wrote these words while surrounded by enemies.
He wasn’t sitting on a throne, dressed in royal robes, living in victory.
He was in the middle of the battle, crying out for God to rescue him.
And maybe that’s where you are today.
Maybe you’re looking at your situation, your broken heart, your unanswered prayers, and you’re wondering, How much longer, God? How much more do I have to endure?
Let me remind you—your enemies do not get the final say.
The people who betrayed you do not get to define you.
The pain you’re feeling is not where your story ends.
“No one who hopes in You will ever be put to shame.” (Psalm 25:3)
Your enemies may rise against you, but they will not prevail.
The enemy may be whispering lies, but he will not have the last word.
Because God is still writing your story.
And what the enemy meant for evil, God is about to use for good.
WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO, CRY OUT TO HIM
“Show me Your ways, Lord, teach me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long.” (Psalm 25:4-5)
When the weight of life feels too heavy, ask Him to guide you.
When you feel lost and broken, ask Him to teach you.
When fear grips your heart, stand on His truth.
Because God does not abandon His people.
He sees every tear.
He hears every cry.
He knows every silent prayer you’ve whispered in the dark.
And even when you can’t see it, He is working behind the scenes.
SURRENDER THE NEED TO UNDERSTAND
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Let’s be real—trusting God is easy when life is good.
But when your heart is shattered? When your plans have collapsed? When the people you trusted have turned their backs on you?
That’s when trust becomes warfare.
That’s when faith isn’t about understanding—it’s about surrender.
Surrendering the pain.
Surrendering the questions.
Surrendering the need to know why.
Because God doesn’t need you to figure it all out.
He just needs you to trust that He already has.
WHEN FEAR RISES, REMEMBER WHO HOLDS YOUR FUTURE
“Have no fear of sudden disaster.” (Proverbs 3:25)
The enemy wants you to stay in fear.
He wants you to believe that your suffering is permanent, that the pain will never end, that you are stuck where you are.
But he is a liar.
Because the same God who raised Joseph from the pit…
The same God who delivered David from his enemies…
The same God who rescued Daniel from the lions…
Is the same God who is fighting for you.
You are not alone.
You are not abandoned.
You are not forgotten.
PRAY BOLDLY. BELIEVE FIERCELY. STAND FIRM.
“If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” (Matthew 21:22)
So today, I challenge you—pray like you believe it’s already done.
Declare your victory while you’re still in the battle.
Trust that even when you don’t see it, God is working behind the scenes.
Stand firm.
Trust boldly.
Pray fiercely.
Because this is not where your story ends.
Your breakthrough is coming.
Your restoration is near.
And your faith—this faith that you are holding onto right now—WILL NOT be put to shame.
Will you trust Him, even when it doesn’t make sense?
Will you surrender what you don’t understand?
Will you step into the faith that moves mountains?
Drop a in the comments if you’re choosing to trust God today!
Because victory belongs to the Lord.
And He is not done with you yet.
AMEN!
I’ve been deeply studying the book of Ecclesiastes, and I can’t shake the truths I’ve found. This book hits so hard, especially in a world that’s always pushing us to chase things that just don’t matter. So, I want to share what’s on my heart because I know it can speak to you like it’s spoken to me.
1. Life Has Seasons (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)
- “For everything there is a season…”
- Listen, right now you may be in the thick of a storm, wondering when this will end. But I’m here to remind you that God is in control of every season—the joy, the pain, the waiting, all of it. Every season you’re in has meaning and purpose. Don’t give up. God will turn even the darkest season into something beautiful. Trust Him and hold on—your time is coming.
2. Find Joy in Simplicity (Ecclesiastes 3:12-13)
- “Find satisfaction in your work; it’s God’s gift.”
- So many of us are running ourselves ragged, chasing after something more—more money, more status, more recognition. But the truth is, real joy isn’t in “more.” It’s in the simple, daily blessings God has already placed in your life. You want peace? Start by looking at what’s in front of you right now. Take a deep breath, slow down, and appreciate the gift of today. This is where the joy is.
3. Trust God’s Sovereignty (Ecclesiastes 7:13-14)
- “God makes both good and bad days.”
- I know you feel like life’s out of control sometimes. But let me remind you—God is still in charge. He’s the One who allows the good and the bad. Both are in His hands. Your situation might feel chaotic, but God isn’t surprised by any of it. He’s using it, even the hard stuff, to shape you. Trust Him, even when you don’t understand.
4. Fear God and Pursue His Wisdom (Ecclesiastes 12:13, 7:9, 5:3)
- “Fear God and keep His commandments.”
- This is what it’s all about—fearing the Lord. All these other pursuits we get caught up in? They mean nothing without the fear of God. That’s where true wisdom begins—the wisdom to know what’s good and what’s evil, the wisdom to discern the path God has for you. And listen, much anger rests in the lap of fools. If you’re holding on to anger, you’re falling into the trap of foolishness. Let it go. Anger destroys, but wisdom from God will heal you.
- And let’s not forget—a fool is known by their many words. You don’t need to prove yourself by talking more or trying to outshine others. Be careful with your words. Fools talk too much, but the wise know when to speak and when to be silent. Guard your mouth and guard your heart.
5. Enjoy Life, but Remember God’s Judgment (Ecclesiastes 11:9)
- “Rejoice in life, but remember God will judge.”
- Life is a gift! I want you to enjoy it—laugh, pursue your passions, live with joy! But I also want you to remember this: God sees it all. Every decision you make, every step you take, it matters. One day, you and I will stand before Him and account for it. So yes, live fully, but live wisely—live with eternity in mind.
6. God Gives True Wisdom and Contentment (Ecclesiastes 2:26, 5:18-20)
- “God gives wisdom and happiness to those who please Him.”
- You’ve been searching, haven’t you? For peace, for joy, for meaning. But here’s the truth—God is the only source of those things. You’re not going to find it in success or status. True wisdom, true joy, and contentment only come from Him. Seek Him first. Stop chasing the world’s empty promises—they’ll leave you feeling emptier. God is enough.
7. Trust His Timing (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
- “He makes everything beautiful in its time.”
- Waiting is hard, I get it. It feels like you’re stuck in the middle of the mess, and you just want out. But let me tell you this—God’s timing is perfect. Even when it feels slow, even when it makes no sense. He’s working behind the scenes, even now. He will make something beautiful out of your broken places. Don’t lose heart, trust His timing. He’s never late.
Final Word to You:
I need you to hear me. This life is short. It’s like a vapor, here today and gone tomorrow. Don’t waste it chasing after things that will fade. Run after God. He is your purpose, your peace, your joy. Everything else is just empty promises.
And if you’re holding onto anger, resentment, or you’re letting your words run wild, it’s time to stop. Fools live like that, and we’re called to more than that. Fear the Lord—that’s where true wisdom begins. Seek Him first, and everything else will fall into place. You were made for more. Live wisely, live fully, and live for Him—because nothing else will ever truly satisfy.
Love,
Galina 💜
Forgiveness is the ultimate gift, not just to those who have wronged you, but to yourself. It’s the key that unlocks the chains of resentment, anger, and pain, allowing you to step into the freedom that God intends for you. Forgiveness is power—it breaks the cycle of bitterness and restores peace to your heart. When you choose to forgive, you’re no longer held captive by the weight of past hurts. You’re choosing freedom.
Why Forgiveness Breaks Chains:
- It frees you from emotional bondage: When you hold onto grudges, you’re the one who remains trapped. Anger and resentment weigh down your spirit, keeping you from experiencing the peace and joy that God promises. Forgiveness is the release—it’s saying, “This pain no longer controls me.”
- It restores your heart: Forgiveness heals your soul from the inside out. The wounds of betrayal, hurt, and disappointment can only be truly healed when you let go. When you forgive, you’re allowing your heart to mend, creating space for peace, joy, and love to return.
- It invites God’s grace: Forgiving others isn’t just about you—it’s a reflection of how God forgives you. When you extend forgiveness, you’re mirroring God’s grace in your life. By forgiving, you’re aligning yourself with God’s will, and that brings spiritual freedom.
How You Can Live and Thrive in Forgiveness:
- Choose Forgiveness Daily
- Forgiveness is not always a one-time decision—it’s a daily practice. Each day, make the conscious choice to release the pain and resentment. The enemy wants you to hold onto hurt, but God calls you to let it go. It’s in the constant release that you find true freedom.
- Pray for Strength
- Forgiving, especially deep wounds, can feel impossible on your own. That’s why you need to lean into God’s strength. Ask Him to help you release the anger, heal your heart, and restore your peace. When you invite God into the process, He will give you the grace and power to truly forgive.
- Focus on the Freedom, Not the Pain
- Forgiving doesn’t mean the pain disappears immediately, but it does mean you stop letting the pain define you. Instead of focusing on the hurt, focus on the freedom you gain when you forgive. Each time you let go of resentment, you’re opening up your life to joy, peace, and growth.
- Set Healthy Boundaries
- Forgiveness doesn’t mean you let people continuously hurt you. It’s about releasing the emotional hold they have on you. But in that freedom, you have the right to set boundaries to protect your heart and well-being. Forgive, but also create space for your healing by establishing healthy limits.
- Embrace Joy and Let It Transform You
- Once you’ve forgiven, joy becomes your strength. The chains are broken, and you are no longer carrying the weight of bitterness. You can laugh and be happy because you’ve reclaimed your peace. Living in forgiveness is living in freedom—it allows you to thrive in every aspect of your life. You’ll find yourself more open to love, opportunities, and the fullness of life because the burden of unforgiveness no longer holds you down.
- Remember That Forgiveness is a Journey
- There will be days when old wounds resurface. That’s okay. Just remember that forgiveness is a journey, not a one-time event. When you feel the pain coming back, choose again to release it. It’s in this continual practice that you grow stronger and freer.
How to Thrive in Forgiveness:
When you live in a state of forgiveness, you’re no longer tethered to the past. You are able to live fully in the present, and walk boldly into your future. You will laugh more, love deeper, and experience peace that transcends understanding. Thriving in forgiveness means walking in joy—joy that comes from knowing that nothing and no one has control over your peace except God.
By choosing forgiveness, you’re not just surviving—you’re thriving. You’re living in the fullness of freedom that Christ offers. Forgiveness opens the door to abundant life, filled with peace, joy, and spiritual freedom. So laugh, be happy, and live boldly in the freedom of forgiveness. It’s your birthright, your power, and your pathway to true peace.
With love and faith, Galina 💜
Because
they’ve been through the fire—betrayal, rejection, heartbreak—and learned the hard way that without standards, they’re vulnerable to being taken for granted. These women know that without setting and holding firm to their standards, they risk losing themselves.
They’ve fought to become who they are and now protect that fiercely.
Steps to Establishing Your Own Standards:
- Know Your Worth or Be Taken for Granted
- Why: If you don’t define your value, others will do it for you—and they’ll always underestimate you.
- How: Reflect on your past. What have you tolerated that made you feel disrespected? Make a list of what you will never accept again—that becomes your standard. Know your value and hold it up high.
- Set Boundaries Without Apology
- Why: Boundaries are your shield. They protect your peace, your heart, and your standards.
- How: Identify what is non-negotiable in your life. Communicate these boundaries clearly, without explaining or apologizing. Those who respect you will honor your boundaries. Anyone who doesn’t, doesn’t belong in your life.
- Demand Respect—Don’t Ask for It
- Why: Allowing disrespect once gives people permission to keep crossing the line. Strong women command respect by how they live and what they tolerate.
- How: Start with yourself. The way you treat yourself teaches others how to treat you. Walk in self-respect, and people will follow your lead without you needing to say a word.
- Be Ready to Walk Away
- Why: Standards are meaningless unless you’re willing to enforce them. Strong women walk away from anything that doesn’t align with their values, no matter how hard it may be.
- How: Practice the power of walking away. Staying in situations that don’t serve you only weakens your position. Walking away shows that you respect yourself too much to stay where you’re not valued.
- Stay Unapologetic
- Why: People will test your standards, challenge them, and try to make you feel “difficult.” Strong women never apologize for holding their ground.
- How: Stop explaining yourself to people who don’t understand your standards. You owe no one an explanation for valuing yourself. Hold firm, even when others push back.
Conclusion:
Standards aren’t about having an attitude—they’re about
protecting your worth and standing firm in your value. Strong women set standards because they’ve been through too much to settle for anything less. If you don’t set your standards, the world will dictate what you’re worth—and it’ll always be less than you deserve.
This is about taking control, knowing your value, and refusing to compromise. Your strength isn’t in attitude—it’s in your unwavering standards.
Get them in place, or the world will walk all over you.
With love and faith,
Galina 💜
Peace is not something that just happens to you—it’s something
you must create within yourself. No matter how chaotic or painful life gets,
you have the power to control your response. Peace isn’t about avoiding the storm; it’s about finding calm
in the middle of the storm. It begins with you because if you don’t claim it, the world will steal it from you. Here’s how you take control:
1. Master Your Thoughts, or They Will Control You
- Why: Your thoughts are either working for you or against you. If your mind is filled with doubt, fear, or self-criticism, peace can’t survive. Peace begins the moment you decide to take control of your mental space.
- Step: Challenge every negative thought the moment it arises. Fight back with affirmations of strength, gratitude, and clarity. You own your mind, not your fears.
2. Release the Uncontrollable Before It Consumes You
- Why: Clinging to things outside of your control—people, outcomes, situations—leads to internal chaos. You can’t control the world, but you can control how much power you give it.
- Step: Let go of what you can’t change. This is not weakness; it’s power. Focus only on your reactions and decisions. Leave the rest to God.
3. Anchor Yourself in Faith or Be Swept Away by Doubt
- Why: Without faith, the weight of uncertainty will crush you. Faith is your anchor in the storm. When you place your trust in God, you are free to let go of fear and embrace true peace.
- Step: Lean into faith daily. Through prayer, surrender, and trust, place your burdens on God’s shoulders. He can carry what you can’t. Rest in His strength.
4. Show Yourself Mercy, or You Will Never Know Peace
- Why: You are often your own worst enemy. Criticizing yourself for mistakes and imperfections creates inner torment. Peace comes only when you offer yourself the same forgiveness you give others.
- Step: Forgive yourself—fully. Self-compassion is non-negotiable. Treat yourself with the kindness you deserve, or you’ll never know peace.
5. Cut Off What Drains You
- Why: Without boundaries, you invite chaos into your life. If you don’t protect your energy and mental space, others will rob you of peace. Set limits, or be consumed.
- Step: Set fierce boundaries. Cut off toxic influences, whether they are people, habits, or negative environments. Protect your peace at all costs.
Conclusion:
Peace begins with you, because no one else can protect your soul from chaos but you. If you don’t take control of your mind, your heart, and your boundaries, the world will crush your peace. Fight for it—claim it. It’s yours to create, and it starts from within. Peace isn’t found; it’s created. And it begins with you.
With love and faith,
Galina 💜
Just like this small plant being carefully nurtured, you too are in a delicate and powerful season of growth. The pain you’ve experienced—whether from betrayal, heartbreak, or loneliness—may have left you feeling buried, heavy, and overwhelmed. But remember, it is often in the darkest places that new life begins. The soil that surrounds you may seem like a place of loss, but it’s also where roots take hold, where healing begins, and where new growth emerges.
The soil of your pain can be fertile ground for transformation. It is through this very season of struggle and brokenness that your true strength will come forth. With the right care—faith, love, and self-compassion—your heart will begin to heal, your spirit will start to revive, and you will bloom once again.
- Faith is your anchor, your steady source of nourishment. Just as a plant needs sunlight to thrive, your faith will be the light that helps you see beyond your current pain. It reminds you that even though you may not yet see the growth, God is working beneath the surface, nurturing your spirit and guiding you toward renewal.
- Love—whether it’s love from others or learning to love yourself—is the water that helps you grow. Just as a plant needs hydration to thrive, you need the love and support from the right people around you. Allow yourself to receive love, but also remember to pour love into yourself. Self-love isn’t indulgence; it’s the foundation for your healing.
- Self-compassion is the gentle care you must give yourself during this time. Like the hands surrounding the small plant, self-compassion protects you from the harsh elements of self-doubt, guilt, and regret. It allows you to acknowledge your pain without judgment and gives you permission to heal at your own pace.
This is your time to tend to your heart. Healing is not rushed, and just like the plant, you will grow in your own time and at your own pace. There will be days where you may feel fragile, but every moment of care you give yourself is a step toward thriving.
Take time to protect your heart. Set boundaries where needed. Avoid toxic environments that stifle your growth, and lean into what nurtures your spirit—whether it’s prayer, meditation, or simply time alone to reflect and heal.
Nurture your soul. Be mindful of what you feed your spirit. Just as a plant needs the right nutrients to grow strong, you too need to fill your life with positive influences, uplifting words, and faith-driven support. Surround yourself with people and practices that encourage your growth, rather than those who drain your energy or tear you down.
Allow yourself to grow into the person you were always meant to be. Don’t be afraid of transformation. The healing process will change you, but it will change you for the better. You are not meant to stay buried in the pain of your past. You are meant to rise, to bloom, and to flourish into the full expression of your strength and beauty. The broken pieces of your past can become the very foundation from which your new life grows.
You are destined to thrive, even if you don’t see it yet.
Healing takes time, but just like this plant, you are meant for more than survival—you are meant to bloom. There is so much beauty in the growth you are about to experience, and soon, you will look back at this time and see that it wasn’t the end of your story, but the very beginning of your transformation.
Through faith, love, and self-compassion, you are stepping into a new season of thriving.
You will not only heal—you will bloom.
With love and faith,
Galina 💜
