Are You Hurting Let Me Help You!

Psalm 145:17
The LORD is just in all His ways,
and kind in all His doings.
Listen to the Music That Jesus Left For You at the end…..

Today I write from personnel experience, that many of us have felt from time to time.
Hurt is a inner feeling that can crush a person’s Spirit so much,
that we begin to see ourselves not trusting anyone or anything.
Is this where you are at?
A hazard of the boxing ring is the distinct possibility of getting physically hurt.
Every boxer, professional or amateur, knows the risk of, for instance,
a broken nose, a cut eyebrow,
being winded by a body punch or even being knocked out cold,
risking long-term brain damage.
This kind of life in general though is also the distinct possibility
of getting hurt in some way.
Here, I am not referring to something as unsubtle as a black eye,
but to the more insidious pain of inner hurt,
and that crushing feeling of inward offence.
To be human is to be sensitive.
Being on the receiving end of a deliberate or accidental offence
and consequently feeling hurt inside so powerful
that it can be a great problem for us all at some time.
What do we do at such times?
Does the Bible—God's Word—address this issue?
Yes it does.
Consider the following:
First of all, it is not wrong for us to feel hurt.
Mark 3.5 describes an occasion when the Lord Jesus Himself
looked around at them with anger,
grieved by their hardness of heart.
Then in 2 Timothy 4:14 Paul relates how Alexander

the coppersmith did me great harm...
We are only human and we are part of a fallen world.
It is unrealistic not to expect it at some time.
Though are we meant to react?
The Bible teaches non-retaliation.
By this it warns us not to add fuel to the fire
and make a bad situation worse.
Jesus said in
Matthew 5:39

But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil.
But if any one strikes you on the right cheek,

turn to him the other also.

Paul wrote in Romans 12:17 and 19:
Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought

for what is noble in the sight of all...
Beloved, never avenge yourselves

but leave it to the wrath of God,
for it is written 'Vengeance is mine,
I will repay, says the Lord.
I don’t know about you , but there are times in the
Old me before I became a Christian
I wanted to knock their socks off!!
But the Christian Faith is not natural—it is a supernatural Faith.
God's Holy Spirit, living within us,
enables us to live and empowers us to live, think, act and not act,
in a way and manner altogether differently from the normal.
Call upon Me in the day of trouble (Psalm 50:15).
Cast your burden on the LORD and He will sustain you (Psalm 55:22).
Even our pain then will turn out ultimately for our blessing,
Romans 8:28 says that without exception
We know that in everything God works for good with those who love Him
, who are called according to His purpose.
We Hold Many internal scars we carry them, and we can feed them.
But then they will never go away.
Do Not Let Our offences smother us,
so that they steal our Joy, Happiness, and Peace
Paul Said it Beautifully
Ephesians 4:32:
Be kind to one another, tender hearted
, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

May He Bless You and Keep You Today!
With Great Love
IN HIS SERVICE
