When We Are Hurt

Did you ever think about it when people hurt you. A lot of times it is family that hurts us because we love them and so it hurts. If we didn't care for people perhaps it wouldn't hurt. There have been a couple incidents lately that have hurt me. I suppose when you try to help someone your not related to, perhaps the hurt is minor. I recently tried to help a guy get to work, and we agree on a time and I set my alarm to be on time and most times I like to be early. That's just the way I am. One time I was there 5 minutes early and I waited 20 minutes and finally I just left. He called right after I left but I wouldn't return. Then many months later he called again and we agreed on a time. I show up at least a couple minutes early and once again I wait 10 minutes. That evening he calls again and needs a ride the next morning. I say I'll be there at a time 10 minutes later than the morning before. Even though I am ten minutes later I still wait for at least another five minutes. This time I talk to him, I don't have no skin in this game, I set my alarm so I can be on time to pick you up and I don't appreciate waiting. I could still be home asleep if I wasn't trying to help you. It is more an aggravation than a real hurt, but I don't like it. But I have been hurt deeply and I don't understand what I have done. You look at it and say what have I done wrong for this person to hurt me like this.  Did you ever think how God must feel when he tries over and over to love us and help us and we ignore or don't even talk or want anything to do with him. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
I wonder how God must feel when we hurt him over and over again. All he wants to do is love us and fix us. He has our best interest at heart and we ignore him. Perhaps he knocks on our hearts door and we ignore him again and again.  I wonder how it must hurt God when all he wants to do is help us and love us. I am just a hurting little boy that just want to be loved and there God is wanting to love me but I refuse to open my hearts door. It must hurt God just like I feel hurt when a loved one ignores me.  Think about that, how many times has God tried to love us and we push him away. How it must hurt him. Think of the biggest hurt you ever felt caused by someone you really love. Imagine that hurt and then realize how much it must hurt God. All he wants to do is love on a hurting little boy or girl and we refuse his love. It must hurt deeply, because he loved us enough to send Jesus to die on a cross for us. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13. Thank about that, are you hurting God who loves you above any other. God bless, LVZ.
