Hurting people hurt others, isn’t it? When you have been treated badly and hurt by people you love or loved so dearly (and maybe who also loved you at one point or the other), the tendency to go through life lashing back at people-even without knowing it is so high. You might not really mean to, but you find yourself reacting to people-including the ones who are trying to show you love, out of the abundance of your pains. It is so easy to feel helpless in this situation.
From my personal experiences, I have however found that our pains can serve a higher purpose than using them as an excuse to hurt everyone that comes our way. We can use it as the motivation to step out and help others so they won’t have to go through what we have. And if they must, we can aid and guide them as they do, so that they are informed and prepared for whatever life throws at them.
I have purposed not to empower my pains and the wrongs done to me by allowing them to bend me out of shape. They won’t become my reason for having a sour attitude to life and infecting others with same.
From where I stand, I can see that I have been hurt so I can heal, rejected so I can love and despised so I can embrace many others who will one day walk in my shoes. That is the purpose of my pains.
Whatever hurts or pain you are dealing with today, you can either empower it and become enslaved to it…or you can let it propel you to reach out to others. The choice is not only yours to make, but ultimately to live with…

Very helpful. I’ve been down that road and I am still recovering (healing).

Just an hypothetical reasoning, indulge me pls… If you were going to be paid $1M for recovering in a month, would you achieve it?
Well, just because that doesn’t really happen in true life, doesn’t mean we can’t achieve it. The holy book says “I can do all things… Thru Christ who strengthens me”. Physically, we may not have that strength & the real reason why others are suicidal is mainly of the hopelessness they see through the situation. Do you want TO LIVE OR die? The choice is yours… God’s the only true motivation to survive & fast too.

Hmmm…I agree with you. Only God can make true healing take place. And He is willing if we are willing.
