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.

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. -

I love that, thank you
Choose to believe that God hurts with you, that as your perfect heavenly Father, He longs to take you in His arms and hold you.
One of the shortest verses in the Bible is also the most poignant: “Jesus wept” (John 11:35). As Jesus stood beside Mary and Martha at the tomb of their brother, Jesus cried, even though He knew He was about to raise his friend Lazarus from the dead. Jesus cried out of compassion and empathy—the same compassion He has for you in your time of grief.
