How To Love Those Who Hurt You
John 16:33 tells us this: \u201cIn this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.\u201d Learning how to extend love and forgiveness when others have hurt us is hard; sometimes very hard. It can feel like it\u2019s impossible. We are called to forgive. We are called to love. But what does it look like to forgive those who have hurt us in ways that are beyond comprehension? Their words and their actions have broken our hearts and sometimes our spirits. How can we move past the hurt and the brokenness to get to forgiveness and love for the offender?\n1. Don\u2019t Think About The Hurt As Much As You Think About Christ.\n2. Pray For Those That Hurt You.\n3. Extend Grace Even When You Don\u2019t Want To.\nBONUS: Even on the cross, Jesus prayed that his Father in Heaven would forgive the people who stripped him of his clothes, savagely beat him, and proceeded to execute him. \u201cFather, forgive them,\u201d Jesus said, \u201cThey do not know what they\u2019re doing\u201d (Luke 23:24).\n\n\n--- \n\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle4466/support
