Mary of Bethany had this kind of relationship with Jesus. And rather than scold her when she admitted her disappointment, Jesus embraced her.
He’s big enough to handle your pain, and He already knows your heart. Why not share everything with Him?
7. Walk in forgiveness
Have you done the right thing and still been hurt, betrayed, or abused?
Often when this happens, we get stuck, rehearsing the hurt over and over and building up a “case” against the offender.
Instead of clinging to bitterness, anger, or hate, offer your wound to God as a sacrifice, and trust Him to deal with the one who hurt you.
With His help, you can—over time—find freedom from the chains of your past.
8. Remember, He heals the weary hearted
Bathe yourself in the truth that because Jesus stared down death on the cross, He took away its power forever.
Those who believe in Him need not fear physical death. We don’t have to grieve like those who have no hope.
Remember, Jesus never left a funeral without raising the dead to life. He released the woman with the issue of blood from twelve years of illness, pain, and financial strain.
After he freed Mary of Magdala from seven demons, she followed Him for the rest of His ministry and was the first to see Him after His resurrection.
Friend, our Savior can resurrect your weary, wounded heart. More than that, He longs to do so.
