So, last night my feelings were hurt. I got hit right in the love language =( I'd like to say that I was over it quickly...but that's obviously not the case since I am blogging it this morning. And, unfortunately, it is going to get worse before it gets better. I think that I understand His purpose in this particular hurt, but understanding doesn't make the situation hurt less. What I would like to know is where do I take this hurt? How can I react in a way that glorifies God when my feelings are hurt? How do I cast my cares on Him? How do I take on His easy yoke and light burden? I understand that I need to surrender my hurt feelings to Him. But how do I do that? No, really...I'm asking. I've prayed, consulted Scripture, talked it out...how do I surrender these feelings?
Wouldn't it be nice if we could go through life without ever getting our feelings hurt? Sounds like heaven to me!
A new season of Therapy & Theology is here!

I just discovered your blog and am moved by your honesty and beautiful writing......hurt feelings found me drawn to Lam.3:26 (contemporary version mind you) it is good to wait patiently for the Lord to save us.when we are young, it is good to struggle hard and to sit silently alone,if this is what the Lord intends.being rubbed in the dirt can teach us a lesson;we can also learn from insults and hard knocks.
Maybe the lesson wasn't/isn't your lesson to learn. Maybe it was a way to speak to someone else through you. Maybe it was meant for me...idk..but I do know I have never visited your blog before and here I am responding with Hurt feelings in hand......(grandmother's passing brought out cruel intentions in once loved family) can I put my hurt in my palm, like dirt, and say "here Lord, you take this junk, plant it somewhere else please.....
Thank you Kelly..:)
I appreciate your kind words and will pray that your hurt feelings will be soothed by our precious Savior.
