Some of you are not just tired…you’re bound.
Bound to your past.
Bound to what happened to you.
Bound to old pain, old labels, old versions of yourself.
And you’re still showing up every day…parenting…working…functioning…
But internally?.......... you’re still in it.
This reminds me of Book of John 11…
When Lazarus was in the tomb.
Dead.Wrapped.Buried.
And Jesus stood there and said “Lazarus, come forth.”
Lazarus was already alive when he came out…...but he was still wrapped.
And that’s where a lot of parents are.
You’re alive.
You love God.
You’re showing up.
But you’re still
wrapped in trauma
wrapped in guilt
wrapped in shame
wrapped in what happened to you
So even though you’re out…
you’re not FREE.....
And then Jesus said something amazing He said “Loose him, and let him go.”
That means:
The coming out was one step…But the UNWRAPPING was another.
So Kingdom Parents..........What are you still wrapped in?
Because you can’t fully show up for your children…
while you’re still bound to your past.
This week isn’t just about mental health…it’s about FREEDOM.
And I’m calling you out of it.
Not gently.
Not when you “feel ready.”
NOW.
Come out of the guilt.
Come out of the shame.
Come out of the identity that says “this is just who I am.”
Because you’re not who you were.
And your children don’t need a perfect parent… they need a FREE one.
If you’re ready to come out of it…
