Old Wounds

 

Old Wounds

 

Do you have a hole in your heart?

 

Is the wound old…are you angry?

Maybe the wound is fresh and you're hurt.

Part of you is broken and the other part of you is bitter. Part of you wants to cry, and the other part wants to fight. The tears you cry are hot because they come from your heart, and there is a fire burning in your heart. It's the fire of anger. It's blazing. It's consuming. The flames leap up under a steaming pot of revenge.

 

            You are left with a decision: "Do I put out the fire or heat it up? Do I get over it or get even? Do I release it or resent it? Do I let my hurts heal, or do I let it turn into hate?"

 

            Are you allowing your hurts to turn into hates? If so, ask yourself: Is it working? Has your hatred done you any good? Has your resentment brought you any relief, any peace? Has it granted you any joy?

           

            Allow the hole in your heart to heal!

 

In Christ,

Rick
