Some of us get so deeply hurt and disappointed at some point of our lives. Some manage to snap out of it after a mourning period but some carry the hurt for years. Just a mention of the incident, a song, some words can trigger a flood of tears. How do you help a person let go of that hurt? Maybe some of us hang on to the pain and hurt because once you take that away, we may have to take action and face our fears...It is easier to sit back and play the victim..it is almost like a wound which is about to heal, a bit itchy and you need to scratch it and it bleeds again...a vicious cycle..it never gets heal.
Last week I shared in church about being an overcomer. You got to have faith in God to help you rise above your difficult circumstances. Yes, it is painful. Yes, that person who hurt you was wrong but you have to come out of that hole. In Hebrews, it says that for without faith, it is impossible to please God. That is the way He works. He sees and rewards our faith.
Then, you got to have hope. Jeremiah 29:11 says that 'For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you, to give you a future and a hope....' Know that whatever problems and difficulties you are facing is only a transition. This too shall pass. Have hope that you will come out of this.
Lastly, you got to have love. Stop being a burden to others with your self-pity. After the mourning period, you got to snap out of it. Be a blessing instead of being a bitter person, making everyone around you miserable as well. Show love and you find that before long, your situation will improve.
1 Cor 13:13 says three things remain, faith, hope and love and of these, love is the greatest.
