My last few blogs have been discussing dealing with hurts, damaged emotions, experiencing the peace of God. I hope they have been as instrumental in your life as they have been for writing them.
Hebrews 12:1 says Wherefore seeing we also are compasses about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and sin that so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us
If we don’t deal with the things that affect us the way the Word of God instructs us to then those things become weights in our lives. Those weights are designed to slow me down or possibly stop me from moving.
One way to deal with these weights is to become vulnerable again to the people who have caused the hurt. You must learn to trust the hand of God. You must learn to allow the love of God to flow through you even to the one who has caused the pain.
Every time you are hurt it is an opportunity to express love. Love is an attribute of the character of God. The power of His love will heal you and the offender. God demands that we love openly, knowing that we may get hurt in the process. Therefore, he installed the act of love, the ability to heal oneself.
John 13:34-35
34. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Don’t be afraid to love freely again. Stop pushing people away with your hurt and unforgiveness. You need their love and they need yours. Break free of the memory of negative experiences and begin to consider the ones you love and consider the love that God has bestowed upon.
You can be Free!
Be Blessed,
Pastor Jackie
