There are people in our lives that have done some type of wrong to us; they could have harmed us physically, or they could have done some form of slander; Either way we have been hurt by someone and for a lot of people it seems easier to just blame them and hate them forever.
The truth is that will not do us any good, the thing is when you have hate towards someone it does not hurt them. In fact it doesn’t even faze them, hate only hurts the one who has it and the people around them. I know it may seem I am telling you not to hate someone, but the truth is I am simply letting you know that there is a better way to handle how you feel.
There was a young woman that I loved very much, we had been talking for a while and well we believed that we were in a relationship, after some time she ended up betraying me.
I tried to bottle up my feelings and just forget about her, but it only hurt me even more. So after a lot of prayer I learned there was a better solution, instead of hating, or feeling sad; I decided to learn from this bad relationship.
This experience gave me more understanding on how some people can act, and that they do not need to be forgotten. Instead it is better to have compassion towards them.
Even the Bible says something about this;
Matthew 5:44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you
However we should be cautious about these people we cannot be naïve about who we choose to allow in our lives. There are people who will try to hurt you, so it is your job to be cautious about who you trust.
You need to be a fighter in order for you to fight through the people who try to hurt you.
You need to be a survivor in order for you to live with joy and love even after you have been hurt.
The struggles you face will only make you stronger, so don’t worry just be strong. And know that God is with you!
