Book SynopsisWe all have been hurt, because life is not always fair or righteous. We live in a fallen world. Many of us have experienced disappointment. We have experienced people who hurt us and deeply rejected us, put us aside or not paid attention to us. Maybe they looked at us the wrong way or said hurtful things or even betrayed us. How do we interpret and respond to these situations? Many of us carry feelings of emotional hurt, anger, guilt and frustration. We may have reacted with fits of rage, negative responses, grumpiness, haughtiness, prideful behavior and not being all that God calls us to be for ourselves or in relationships with others. Sometimes feeling these things causes us to spill our hurt/pain onto other people. The difference between a happy life and a hurting life is how we interpret and respond to these life situations. We are what we think about.Scripture calls us to be more "Christ-like" and speaks over and over again that we are to not be afraid or anxious. But how do we do this? How do we become the person that is made in God's image, to be free from our fears and anxieties?I HURT is packed with solutions and practical tools for worldly issues that we all face.
