Dr. Tasha Wilson: “H.O.P.E. (He Optimizes Pain Effectively)” from “The Purpose In My Pain: A 28-Day Devotional Written by Women of Purpose”
This month, I am sharing summaries of some of the chapters within The Purpose In My Pain: A 28 Day Devotional Written by Women of Purpose. Today’s highlight is of a chapter written by one of the co-authors, Dr. Tasha Wilson.
“H.O.P.E. (He Optimizes Pain Effectively)” by Dr. Tasha Wilson
Tasha’s chapter is among the shortest and yet one of the most powerful in terms of truly showing how a few words spoken in the right way to the right person can pack more healing within them than paragraphs to the wrong person. If you have been affected by grief but not allowed yourself to truly heal, what she shared will speak to your heart and spirit in ways that may require many tissues and a few trips to the library and a therapist because you will be ready to do the work. (The good news is that Dr. Tasha coaches millennial women on how to rise from a place of pain to a posture of promise. Reach out if you are in that category and she can guide you toward the promise land!)
In four pages, Tasha reminds you that true freedom comes with an expectation to give your permission to fully grieve and fully heal. No shortcuts. No timelines. Just you and God doing the work required to work through the muck to get to the miracles and message.
In her devotion, Tasha succinctly reminds us that when we give ourselves freely to God’s plan for our lives, even the tragic things become testimonies of his grace, protection, love, and provision. It doesn’t make sense and yet it makes perfect sense.
When you answer the questions that Tasha proposes, you find yourself entering into the healing process. You will know whether you’re willing and ready to begin healing or still fighting God about seeing the bigger picture of what you’re going through. It’s okay if you’re at the latter stage. Just as it’s okay to take decades to grieve and heal, it’s okay to take your time being ready. When you are, Dr. Tasha awaits you.
