We all carry a frame through which we see the world—a lens shaped by past experiences, words spoken over us, and the wounds we’ve tried to ignore. Some of us walk through life with cracked frames and distorted perspectives, unsure why we react the way we do, and unaware of how deeply those cracks affect our faith, relationships, and identity.
But what if healing didn’t begin with fixing the cracks… but by acknowledging them?
That’s the invitation of Frame 1: Reflect and Record from The Reframe Principle—a quiet, courageous beginning to transformation.
God Already Sees the Frame
Psalm 139 reminds us that God sees us fully. He knows every thought, every anxious reaction, and every hidden memory. That’s not meant to shame us—it’s meant to free us. We don’t have to perform or hide. We can finally stop running and let the healing begin.
Jesus isn’t interested in helping you fake it. He wants to help you face it. And He offers gentle, soul-deep restoration to those who are willing to reflect and be honest.
Triggers, Lies, and the Stories We Carry
When you begin to reflect, you’ll likely notice patterns—moments where you felt ignored, rejected, or betrayed. You might realize how those experiences quietly whispered lies into your identity:
“My voice doesn’t matter.”
“I’m not welcome.”
“I can’t trust anyone.”
Without realizing it, those lies become the frame. And when a spouse, friend, coworker, or child unknowingly bumps into those pain points? We react—not to them, but to the shadow of the past. Unfortunately, it looks and feels like we react to them. All the more reason we reframe now!
Reflection is how we name those triggers, break the silence around our pain, and bring it into the light of Christ.
But This Isn’t Just About the Past
The Reframe Principle doesn’t stop with reflection. It leads you toward transformation—by helping you write down your story, name your wounds, and surrender the false narratives that have shaped your frame. It invites you to let Jesus do what only He can do: reframe your identity around truth, not trauma.
It’s slow work. But it’s sacred.
As you reflect, ask yourself:
What past experiences still shape how I see myself and others? What lies have I believed about my worth? Where do I need to invite Jesus to reframe my story?
Jesus says, “Come to Me, all who are weary… and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Not just sleep—but soul rest. He is gentle. He is safe. And He’s ready to restore the frame of your life, piece by piece.
