Stop the Bleeding Now
There is a kind of suffering that hides behind titles, responsibilities, smiles, and the applause of others. It's the type that doesn't scream-but silently drains the soul. I've seen it in too many faces: the strong, the consistent, the ones others call "the reliable ones." And if you're holding this book right now, maybe-just maybe-you're one of them.
By God's grace, I've had the privilege to minister to people from all walks of life. Over time, I began to notice something deeply troubling: so many are bleeding internally while living externally like everything is fine. They show up, give their best, lift others, and pray powerful prayers... yet they go home to a silent storm that no one sees. I've heard it in their sighs, seen it in their eyes, and even felt it in the stillness of their presence. There's a cry within-an ache that no one talks about because the world has made them feel like they must keep going, keep serving, keep sacrificing... without ever stopping to heal.
This book was written for those whose wounds are wrapped in silence. For those who feel like their worth is measured by their usefulness. For those who have learned how to function while fractured. If you've ever felt empty but had to keep pouring, tired but had to keep showing up, broken but had to keep building-this is for you.
This is not a book of judgment. It is a book of invitation. An invitation to honesty. To healing. To wholeness.
You don't have to live this way anymore.
You are allowed to be honest about your pain. You are allowed to stop pretending that you're okay when you're not. You are allowed to put down the burden and acknowledge that your soul needs tending too.
The bleeding must stop-not just for your sake, but for the future God has for you. Because a bleeding heart, no matter how gifted or needed, cannot fully enjoy the abundant life Christ promised. Healing is not a luxury-it is a necessity. And this is your moment to begin again.
So, let's walk this journey together. One truth at a time. One wound at a time. One healing at a time.
It's time to stop the bleeding now.
