What to do When you are a Wounded Gazelle | Kyle Costello

What happens when you’ve been wounded for so long that you start believing the wound is who you are? A wounded gazelle is vulnerable. It’s easier to isolate. Easier to deceive. Easier for the predator to convince it that there’s no way out. And sometimes, spiritually, we can find ourselves in that place too. We’ve believed the lie so long we don’t recognize it as a lie. We’ve been shaped by what happened to us, what the world tells us, or even what our own flesh tells us. But Jesus came “to proclaim freedom for the captives.” Freedom begins with truth. And sometimes truth begins with confession—bringing what’s hidden into the light and allowing God to tell us who we really are. This week, we’re asking what it looks like to walk in truth instead of deception. Because you may have been wounded. But you are not your wound. You are a child of the Living God. #freedom #confession #spiritualwarefare #refugechurch
