take heart


I got my feelings hurt the other day. It happens... but it doesn't always come from such a trusted source. My hurt usually transitions into anger. I was hurt/mad. Tears and angry words. I have a hard time letting go of things. My memory and attention to detail goes on and on well after the occurrence.

I tried hard not to bite back after the unexpected blow. I wanted to defend myself. I wanted to inflict a similar hurt...No a bigger one! I fell quiet and began remembering things that despite the criticism matter so, so much more. Truths about me and everyone else for that matter.

If you're hurt and maybe need a reminder of what's true and special and what really counts this is it:

Psalm 139:14 ...i am fearfully and wonderfully made
Psalm 17:8 ...i am the apple of his eye
Deuteronomy 7:6 ...his treasured possession
Philippians 4:8  ...true, noble, right, pure, and lovely
Psalm 119:114 ...you are my refuge and my shield. i have put my hope in your word
