STOP AND THINK – We hide our hurts, and in the process we sabotage our healing. (Kary Oberbrunner, author and spiritual coach)
Many people are reluctant to share their hurts, the pain that comes from insults, slights, or harsh words. They bottle up those feelings and, as a result, the pain festers and grows until it may cause lasting problems. For healing, those hurts need to be brought to the surface and shared with someone who is sympathetic and can offer help. Don’t keep them to yourself.
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:2) Therefore encourage one another and build each other up. (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
