Bitterness also can hurt our communication with GOD.
Folks, you are going to get hurt in life. You will have pain. This is not heaven, this is earth and GOD has
given us a free choice and so people are free to do wrong things and the result
is innocent people suffer.
Whenever we’ve been hurt and we hold on to those
hurtful memories, it causes us to close our minds to GOD and we start saying
things like, “GOD, why did YOU allow this? Why is this happening to me? If YOU’re such a loving and powerful GOD, why
did this happen?"
Folks, you are going to get hurt in life. You will have pain. This is not heaven, this is earth and GOD has
given us a free choice and so people are free to do wrong things and the result
is innocent people suffer.
Not everything that happens in this world is GOD’s
will. HE has given us the freedom to
choose. So people get hurt.
You are going to get hurt in life and what you do
with that hurt will determine whether you become a better person or a bitter
person. A bitter life is a wasted
life. When we become bitter and when we
hold on to our hurts, it only prolongs the pain.
What we tend to do is, “They hurt me so I’m going to
close myself off, build up walls, hide in my shell, and I’m not going to let
anybody get close to me. Not even GOD,
because GOD let it happen.” So we start
blaming GOD for things other people did to us and as a result, we close our
mind.
People who have been deeply hurt often have a hard
time opening up their minds and their hearts to GOD. They’ve held in so much and they hurt.
Just a thought from the front porch…
