Loving past the hurt




We all have experienced hurt or will be hurt by someone we love, whether it be our parents, close friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, spouse sibling. Someone will hurt us. The true test comes after the pain. How do you move on? How can you still love someone who has hurt you to your core? 

I used to talk with others about my problems, but I realized early on that most of those people either talked about my problems to someone else or they just needed some entertainment in their boring lives. Now, I pray. I know, how cliche huh? But prayer is the one thing that brings me peace. It's the only thing that can calm my heart and help me to forgive. 



Life is too short to relive old hurts. When I find myself going down that path of reminiscing on the past, I remember Hebrews 10: 35-36, "Do not lose the courage you had in the past, which has a great reward. You must hold on, so you can do what God wants and receive what he has promised. 

 In repairing a relationship, it's essential to realize that no friendship is perfect, no marriage is perfect, no person is perfect. With the resolve that you are going to make a relationship work, you can develop peace treaties of love and tolerance and harmony to transform a difficult situation into something beautiful.

When I say I am a Christian

When I say..." I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I am saved" I'm whispering "I get lost" "That is why I chose this way" When I say..."I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride I'm confessing that I stumble and need someone to be my guide When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong I'm professing that I'm weak and pray for strength to carry on When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success I'm admitting I have failed and cannot ever pay the debt When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect, my flaws are all too visible but God believes I'm worth it When I say..."I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain I have my share of heartaches which is why I seek His name When I say..."I am a Christian" I do not wish to judge ...

Rejection

People are always concerned about what others think, what others are doing. If the next person is doing better than them. They want to know if their cars are better, job is better, if the next person makes more money, marriage is better, children are better, etc. Why? Why do these things matter? Why do people try so hard to be accepted? You want to know the answer...It's because of the Spirit of Rejection. What is the Spirit of Rejection....you ask? Well let me tell you. Rejection is something that steals life. It keeps people from moving forward. Rejection says, "I'm not good enough, so why do I even try". It can also say, "I just want to be accepted, so I will do whatever to fit it." Rejection will break you down and make you feel worthless. Rejection will cause you to walk out of your purpose. Rejection is a Liar! Why give into rejection? Because when someone has been told something for so long, they believe it. It becomes apart of their DNA. It m...
