We all go
through tough times. We can be disappointed in ourselves or in others. Medical
reports can be less than positive, those we trust can betray us, and relationships
we thought were unbreakable can be shattered in the blink of an eye.
Sometimes
we can feel that life is like swimming through treacle: lots of effort only to
end up feeling you are going nowhere fast.
When you’re mired in the sticky swamp of hurts, how do you climb out?
Denial
doesn’t make things better, feeling sorry for yourself leads you to focussing
on the problem and bartering with God never works.
I’ve
found that what does work is making a choice.
We all have a choice between holding onto hurts or letting them go, a
choice between embracing offense or forgiving the one who hurt you, a choice between
growing bitter or overcoming and being better, a choice between hiding in the shadows of
despair or walking in the light of Jesus our Saviour.
In tough
times we have choices. The question is…what
will be your choice?
