We all experience hurt. It may be for a moment, for months, or in some chronic situations it may hurt for years. Hurt can come from a variety of sources. Busy parents who lacked love can lead to childhood hurt…. disappointments deposit hurt… lack of control contributes to hurt… shattered dreams hurt… and health issues intensify hurt. Hurt may linger on the surface of one’s heart, or it may have inflicted deep wounds into the soul—a soul that desperately needs God’s healing hand. So be aware because your insensitivity can compound the hurt, or your sensitivity can cure the hurt. Hurt hurts and hurting people hurt people! When the ones you love hurt… you hurt. You may hurt because of the empathy you feel for their pain, or you may hurt because of the pain they have knowingly or unknowingly imposed on you. Hurt cannot be ignored because it will eventually expose itself. Hurt will not go away unless there is healing. From you, they may need a tender touch, extra patience, kind words, a gracious attitude…much prayer. Yes, dealing with someone who is hurt is inconvenient, but Galatians 6:9 tells us to not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap God’s blessings! Don’t give up on reaching out to them. If you are the one who is hurting, go to your heavenly Father for healing. Let Him love you through this. Lay down your burden before it crushes your spirit. You cannot bear this burden by yourself or fix this alone. Your loving Lord wants to lead you into forgiveness and freedom. Release your regrets and disappointments to Him, and let go of your need for control. Demands for control are the fruit of fear. Remember that Jesus can be trusted during this time of turmoil. Healing is the outcome from applying the awesome and amazing love and forgiveness of God! Take The Savior’s advice, and experience His healing for you and those around you. Jesus said to go to Him for rest in your weariness, and for wholeness for your heart. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
