Actress Tonto Dikeh has spoken on the importance of healing and how necessary it is to the human body and soul.
In a post on Instagram, Dikeh acknowledged that healing is a painful and messy journey that forces us to confront our deepest wounds.
However, she emphasised that staying broken is a far worse fate, as unresolved pain can seep into every aspect of our lives and drain our joy.
Dikeh encouraged followers to face their pain head-on, trusting in God’s plan and timing.
She reminded them that they don’t need to understand every step of the journey, but simply keep moving forward, believing, and showing up for the future God has prepared.
She wrote: “Be brave enough to heal, even when the healing feels like a war within. Healing isn’t easy, it’s messy, painful, and uncomfortable. Restoration is rarely gentle,It exposes wounds we tried to bury and asks us to confront what once broke us. But staying broken is far worse.
“Pain doesn’t go away when ignored. It seeps into everything, draining your joy, and leaving you stuck in survival mode. Healing means facing that pain, letting yourself feel, and choosing to grow through it. (Psalm 147:3). Healing is God’s invitation to trust Him with the places we tried to fix alone.
“You don’t need to understand every step. All Heaven asks is that you keep moving. Keep believing. Keep showing up for the future God has prepared. You are worth the miracle that is coming.
“One day, you will look back with holy awe, realizing the fire was temporary, but the strength forged in it became eternal. What was meant to break you will become the testimony that sets others free.
“STAYING BROKEN WAS NEVER AN OPTION. You were always meant to heal
You were chosen to heal. You were Anointed to rise”.
