I often hide my feelings
especially when I’m feeling down.
Today God reminded me that in
order to heal I need to feel. Keeping my emotions bottled up inside just
because I don’t feel like I have the right to hurt is ridiculous.
It can be a major problem like
finding out my mom may have cancer, or a minor problem like someone forgetting
to say ‘thank you’ when I went out of my way to appease them. All wounds are
different and take different amounts of time to heal on different people.
I’m usually the first to tell
someone to suck it up. I now realize it’s because I believe I always have to suck
it up. It becomes exhausting.
So today God told me to cry if I
needed to and not to care what the rest of the world thinks. And I did. I cried
over my past and I cried because sometimes my future seems so unsure, but I
mostly cried because my heart just hurt.
I’ve been through worse storms
and I’ve felt worse pain. The difference is to our Heavenly Father all of our
pain is significant, it all matters. So
weather it’s the fact that you feel unappreciated or the major life change you
are going through…It is important.
And it’s okay for you to hurt.
Because at our weakest and most
fragile He is the strongest.
One more thing I’ve learn about
hurt is I tend to open myself my fully to my precious Father when I need Him to
heal the things that only he can.
God works in our mess, in our brokenness,
and He works in our HURT!
