Why do people hurt
each other? Why would they choose to hold malice in their hearts or grudges?
Many times, anger is
a mask for hurt. Rather than admitting that
someone has hurt them, they lash out in anger.
Thus begins a vicious cycle of anger, decisions to not forgive and eventually
the loss of a relationship.
Who gets the glory in
this madness? The enemy! He is more than happy to cause mayhem and crush
the love that people have for each other. He knows that God is love therefore
he hates love. He would rather see friendships, relationships, and family ties broken
over misunderstandings. He would NEVER want anyone to remove the masks, admit
the hurt and push forward.
1 John 4:7 says, “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God…” I
beg you today. Reach out to those that you have severed ties with. If there is
any love for them in your heart, know that it is worth mending the broken
pieces. Not only is tomorrow not
promised, but neither is our next breath. Holding onto to the anger, pain and
hurt isn’t worth it. As folk say.. let go and let God!
