Pass it Unto Me

Sensitive, touchy, cry-baby, words I know all to well and yet with it comes its pros and cons. One of the cons is that I get hurt easily. A friend lying is like a stab in the heart-Really I feel like my heart gets punctured. Betrayal brings me to near emotional death. Getting better at dealing is always a challenge but there is always something there-the Hurt. The Hurt, You can't pass it on for we are called to be patient with one another, to make our best efforts to be at peace with each other, to be gentle, kind. But then we cannot take it out on ourselves for patience is not only for others. Love is not only for others, so to despise ourselves is useless. I got hurt recently and I first wondered "why would you lie?"..."Do you prefer another person over your own blood?" and then I went into the self evaluation of how my life is not where I want it to be. How I do not have many friends. And I find fault with everything only to tell myself how ungrateful I am because God has answered so many of my prayers in his Best time. This weekend I asked myself...I cannot prevent myself from being hurt..I cannot depsise the other person..I cannot despise myself...So what do I do with my hurt. And God said "Pass it unto me"
