We all know how easy it is to get bruises and scrapes, to have scars and stitch marks- everyone has their stories & everyone has their hurt.
What about our insides scrapes and bruises, what about what people aren't telling us, or what about the things that really haven't healed?
They can be so much worse, when you can't actually see it. No, not every bruise stays, and scars remind us of our incident. But everyone has that time in their life that was negative that they just can't forget.
In the last 3 days I have had more physical pain than anyone should. I burned my hand badly at work, got blisters on my feet from walking too long in flip flops, and fell on my rollerblades; giving me 2 great big knee bruises.
But non of that has phased me, non of that has "made me". They'll all go away eventually, but will the bigger hurts in my life ever vanish like a bruise, or a burn mark?
I know we like to think people can't see our hurt, that they're just like a bruise and they'll go away... but will they?
Once we're hurt, it takes a while for a bruise to heal; it's the same with your heart- it takes a while before it's back to normal again.
Gods healing words, and promises in scripture remind us that we are healed already before we are even hurt. Our insides have been set free & our hearts are clear and whole again. When God has a handle on your situation, nothing is more healing than his name.
Romans 8:18 says:
"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the
glory that is to be revealed to us."
glory that is to be revealed to us."
It says right there, nothing here on earth that pains us is worth it because the riches and love the Jesus' eternal life bring, are so much more worth it.
So let the world hurt you, but don't let it phase you. God has a wonderful plan for your hurts- inside and out & will heal you before the situation even arises.
You were made to be courageous, be the generation that breaks all the chains.
