Default So Many Hurts

So Many Hurts
by Max Lucado

If hurts were hairs—we’d all look like grizzlies! So many hurts. When teachers ignore your work, their neglect hurts. When your girlfriend drops you, when your husband abandons you, when the company fires you, it hurts. Rejection always hurts.

People bring pain. Sometimes deliberately. Sometimes randomly. So where do you turn? Hitman.com? Jim Beam and friends? Pity Party Catering Service? Retaliation has its appeal, but Jesus has a better idea! Grace is not blind. It sees the hurt full well. But Grace chooses to see God’s forgiveness even more. Hebrews 12:15 urges us, “See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.”

Where grace is lacking, bitterness abounds. Where grace abounds, forgiveness grows. Forgiveness may not happen all at once. But it can happen with you.

From GRACE

So many hurts, and we forget that they run deep and we need to get to the root of them in order to heal. As much as we don`t want to deal with them and want to ignore them, they are there, and left unattended, they fester and grow.

When I woke up, I remembered a dream which I don`t often do. It was about an ex-boyfriend who relapsed. When I processed it, I felt there may have been several reason, 1) He died, 2) He needs healing and prayer, and 3) I had feelings and hurts from that relationship that still needed to be let go of and healed.

He was the guy who bought me my computer. There was a lot of resentments and hurts related to our 4 year relationship.
