Hurting People Part 3
Friday, June 26, 2009

We hurt others with the things we say an with the things we teach. Sometimes we hurt people emotionally. As I have reflected over the death of Michael Jackson you see his life took some tragic turns. Over his whole life he has some very odd behaviors. We know that he had several emotional issues he was dealing with even up until his death. The damage that we can do to each other emotionally can leave scars that last for years. I know people who are holding on to things that happened 40 years ago. Now, you may be saying it's easy for you becuase you didn't go through what I did. While I will concede I did not go through what you did, I did go through some things in my life, one of which was a deep depression. I still have emotional things from that time in my life that try to play on my heart strings. If were honest most of us have emotional scars that come back to light when a certain person, smell or place comes to mind. The good news is that with the help of God we can move forward in our lives. While many of these things are very difficult to overcome, we must do what we can do to move on. Too many people resort to bitterness and unforgiveness. Stop today and pray for God to help you through whatever emotional scars you have and do your best to move forward with God's grace working through you.
