A Letter to the Hurt

You've been hurt!

Hurt by the ones you trusted, the ones you confided in. With not only your heart but also in some cases your soul.

You woke up one morning to find out they had not been living the upright spiritual Godly life you thought they were and you instantly start to question everything that they had ever taught you and everything you believe in.

Because of this, you struggle to forgive them and others, you battle with trust, you struggle in your spiritual life, and you struggle because you instantly question whether they are real or not. You have no idea who you should trust with your heart and who you shouldn't.

Why? Because everything you had built your life foundation on, got kicked out from beneath you.

Today I want you to know, I hear your heart!

I hear your pain!

I hear your frustration!

I hear your cries!

It's painful to realize you have been lied to your whole life. That someone you had trusted was a fraud and that you had built your life foundations on what they have said and you are forced to evaluate what is truth including everything you believe in.

It's hard, I give you that grace. I am here to tell you today of an alternative. An alternative to thinking you are simply a victim of outside circumstance and can't be mended.

That Mender is Jesus Christ. He is not a human. He does not fail. He will never go against what He has said. He will never change His mind and He is always simply a prayer away.

"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almight. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress My God in Him I will trust."
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence.He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge His truth shall be your shield and buckler You shall not be afraid of the terror by night Nor the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilience that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked....
"Because He has set his love upon Me, therfore
I will deliever Him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon me,
And I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honour him.
With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation."
Psalm 16:1-7,14-16NKJV
