I have a skin problem. I’ll spare the disgusting details,
but to say, it’s a tissue issue I’ve had for 25 years. It only flares up occasionally,
but when it does, it’s viciously aggressive. Every day and night is draining,
extracting, medicating. The flares are temporary, but healing takes time.
Literally weeks of daily attention to the root issues are required. There is no
rushing the healing. There is only my part of constantly cleaning and applying
the balm. The wound heals on its own time and terms. I tend to focus on the
small areas that flare up but have found that lasting healing requires
attention to all areas of suspect: the evil lies in the unseen.
What only I know is that what the public sees on the surface,
is literally, the tip of an iceberg of deeper, root issues. Others may be
repelled by my wounds, but I am the only one who can dress them in balm. Make
up and cover up only last a few hours and do nothing for the long term. I am
aware that scars will come, but scars are always better than wounds. Scars are
proof of healing. I have also found that I am the only one who can attend to my
own issue. No one, especially on a constant basis, can treat me. By the same
token, I cannot tend to anyone else’s issues. We can have conversations, but I
am the only one who takes action – or inaction – and I am the one ultimately
affected and others at the view
There is a popular saying in the last year: “it’s not a skin
issue; it’s a sin issue” This is obviously in reference to racism as a choice
is acting on sinful mindsets, not the pigment itself. Yet, for my life and
living lesson, there is much more to defining the problem. One thing every
living human has is skin. Maybe varied by birth pigmentation, but united in
reality: epidermis is inevitable.
I have a sin problem. I’ll spare the disgusting details, but
to say, it’s an issue I’ve had for over 45 years. It flares up in noticeable, behavioral
extremes - but when it does, it’s viciously aggressive. Every day and night is draining,
extracting, and medicating the heart. The behavioral flares are temporary, but
healing takes time. Literally days, weeks and years of daily attention to the
root issues are required. There is no rushing the healing. There is only my
part of constantly cleaning and applying the balm of the Word of God. The wound
heals on its own time and terms. I tend to focus on the small areas that flare
up but have found that lasting healing requires attention to all areas of
suspect: the evil lies in the unseen.

One thing every living human has is sin. Maybe varied by
life in manifestation, but united in reality: separation is inevitable. One
thing every human being also has is a choice to apply balm or fester. Healing
takes time, but only when mediation is applied. Mediation by the Healer of the
heart. The root treatment of the wound lives out
in the fruit distribution to the world. Eradication is inevitable.
