Title : Handling Hurts in Life
3 Ways in which People Get Hurt
-> Hurt Physically
-> Hurt Emotionally
-> Hurt Relationally ( this is the most difficult hurt that we can handle)
Who can hurt us relationally?
-> the people closest to us.. when they betrayed us.. they lied to us .. they backstabbed us
how to deal?
-> Give all ur hurts to God , spill out our feelings to God
Ps 34:18
God is closer to us than our very breath when we are broken hearted
6 DONTs in dealing with hurts
1st -> Dont ignore the hurt
The Clint Eastwood Approah -> Acting Macho ..
but..if u ignore the hurt.. you are living in denial..
Dont belittle/minimise it .. or even postpone it..
Hurts dun go away by itself... it will come back and haunt you..
Eg-> A married couple quarrelling.. they alwayz bring back things that happened 20 years ago into the argument...
That's Why !!! Dont ignore the Hurt!!!
2nd -> Dont run from the hurt
The Chicken Approach
Ps 55:6-8
actually.. we are all experts in escaping , when we go to sch we try to RUN away from teachers from giving us too much homework ; when we were young , we tried to RUN away from our parents from giving us household chores ; when we are in church , we try to RUN away from Cellgroup leader from asking us to prayer meetings *i do love prayer meeting though*
Running away from the problem is just like taking a roller coaster ride . Although at certain peaks , you feel good and you feel high , when it ended .. you are back from what you've started.. There's no progress
we have to OVERCOME it!!!
3rd -> Dont hide the hurt
Dont start masquerading in fron of others.. hiding behind the mask
Pro 28:13
We dont like to admit our hurts.. we tried to find other means to make us happy.. to get a new car.. a new phone ..etc
but POSSESSIONS never compensate our hurts
by hiding , it intensify your HURT
Ps 32:3
when you reveal your feelings to another person... it is the beginning of healing..
James 5:15
4th-> Dont worry abt the hurt
what is worry? -> attempt to control something that is uncontrollable
IT DOESNT WORK!!!
Job 5:2
Ps 37:8
PRAY IN FAITH FOR YOUR PROBLEMS
5th-> Dont resent the hurt
dont start having a pity party for yourself
Ps 73 :21-23
resentment will cloud your mind..
you will start blaming God.. asking Him Why does it happen to you? why the rest of the people are happy.. but you , as a child of God , are not
resentment is a emotional toxic
6th -> dont give up
dont throw in the towel.. dun give up!!
holy spirit alwayz lead us to the right path
Ps 130:1-2
Ps 142: 2-3
instead of giving up.. bring it to God
Conclusion-> Sometimes you dont nid answers from God .. all you nid is COMFORTS from God .. look to the POWER beyond ourselves
Jn 16:33
BE OF GOOD CHEER , FOR HE HAS OVERCOME THE WORLD
---
this is exactly what i went through.. and survived ..
so this is possible.. God gives us alot of chances.. His love for us will never change .. JESUS IS THE SAME YESTERDAY , TODAY and FOREVERMORE
keep smiling =D
i noe i can.. cuz im healing
