Christian devotional - Healed from hurt

DEVOTIONAL - HEALED FROM HURT

“If anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.” Colossians 3:13

MESSAGE:

 Have you ever felt someone judge you because you needed to leave a party because of your child’s behaviour?

Have you been made to feel that you’re the bad spouse, carer, parent, the neurotic mother?

Had tuts, comments, and stares in the supermarket and you have no way of saying that it’s not what you think!

Have you ever felt misunderstood because of the way you have to behave differently or are genuinely struggling because you don’t know the best way to handle things but you are trying your best?

It is SO hard!

It can feel like a ton of bricks has landed on you and crushed you.

It can wipe your joy, 

peace, 

zest for life,

and bring out the anger,

frustration,

and the worst of you that you never even knew was there!

Praise God that He knew how to release us from all that, and taught us forgiveness.

POINT TO PONDER:

What situations or people came to mind just reading those few sentences?

PRAYER:

“Dear Father God, thank you for bringing this to mind. I am willing to let go of the pain and give it to you. I place every hurt and injustice into your hands and trust you to heal my heart and deal with those who have wounded me. I release them from my own judgement and let go of any bitterness now in Jesus’ name.”
