SOME PEOPLE GET HURT EASILY
▪️Some people get hurt easily.
▪️As for me, I’ve asked myself what someone can possibly do to hurt me and I can’t think of anything.
▪️I grew through the Word and the Holy Spirit to become that way. Now it’s just not possible to hurt me.
▪️Let me tell you how and why.
I found out that as long as I’m after God’s pursuits and the fulfillment of His own dreams and not mine, then it didn’t matter what anybody did to me. I abandoned myself to Him a long time ago, that’s why it’s not possible to hurt me anymore.
⭐ Or how do you hurt one who’s dead?
⭐ Like Paul, I’ve been “crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).
⭐ Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye (Colossians 3:13).
⭐ If you can still be hurt by what someone said or did to you, you’ve not grown enough.
⭐ You’re still too full of yourself and haven’t known Jesus enough.
⭐ When you leave yourself behind and become more like Him, you’ll be amazed at the greater life you’ll live.
⭐ Then, you’ll live above all the wrong things others said or did against you.
⭐ This means that even though you remember, you wouldn’t count it against them. Instead, you’ll remain friendly and courteous towards them.
⭐ Some might think you’re naïve when you act like this, but you’re not doing it for anyone but yourself.
⭐ That’s because you can’t move with the Holy Spirit while you’re carrying all that baggage of the hurtful things people said or did to you.
⭐ You’ve got to let them go so you can flow in the anointing of God’s Spirit and move with Him.
⭐ This takes you away from the class of the uninspiring, and puts you in the league of those who move with the Spirit and do great exploits.
Praise God!
