Dealing with hurt - Sarah Price

Recently, at work, I felt criticised and misunderstood by someone I normally have a great working relationship with.

Afterwards, I went into defensive mode, listing all the reasons in my head of how unjust it was!

Then God spoke to me from Hebrews 12. He said, 'Sarah, sometimes feeling pain isn't always a bad thing, if we learn to look at what is painful and what lesson we can learn from it.'

He reminded me that, we have two choices in how we can react in situations when we are hurting;

We can:

1. Look outwards & blame others

Or we can,

2. Examine ourselves & grow in love.

This quote I saw a few days ago sums it up really nicely:

“Make sure the things that hurt your heart work together to humble it - not harden it.” Morgan Richard Oliver

I would also recommend reading Hebrews 12, if this resonates with you.
