Moving on from the Hurt

Ephesians 4:32

When we have been hurt by someone else in the past, it is easier to hold on to that hurt than it is to let it go. Yet we are called to be kind and tenderhearted. Jesus modeled this when he was kind and tenderhearted to the very soldiers that mocked and killed him.

Questions for further thought:
1. Describe a time when you held on to the hurt a little too long.
2. Did you have any anguish while you were holding on? Was there any relief when you let go?

​Challenge: Is there another situation you are holding on to that you should let go? What is keeping you from letting go? Share your story with someone you trust if you need. You may need to seek counseling. That is okay. You will be better bringing it into the light instead of hiding it in the darkness.
