The key to resolving hurt is simpler then most people think. Psychologists teach you how to cope with hurt, but God heals it. Consistently through our daily lives hurt is brought to the surface. Maybe it is a movie that reminds you of a betrayal or a lost love or an abusive comment from a parent. When this happens it is sometimes too hard to deal with it so we squash it down and try to ignore it. For this reason it continues to fester and never gets resolved. The result is that great portions of our hearts are hidden away behind walls of locked up hurt and damage. We live as mere shadows of the marvelous creation God intended. In order to resolve these crippling hurts we must become vulnerable to Christ. When a hurt pops up go to Christ in prayer and ask for healing. Do this on a consistent basis. What happens is this; Christ heals that part of your heart. He then comes to reside with you there. This is the working out of your salvation daily. As Jesus resides with you, He begins to mature you in that place in your heart and you find a part of you restored to you. Over a period of time you begin to realize that you have had significant changes in your character and personality. You begin to become what God created you to be. You are made whole and complete with the wisdom of God written on your fleshly tablets of your heart. This is the core of the New Covenant. No longer the struggle to follow an outward code of behavior, but instead a new creature. Changed from cleaning the inside of the cup first, you begin to actually in reality become like Christ. WHOLE AND COMPLETE.
