WHAT HURT YOU DOESN’T HAVE TO CONTROL WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. 🙌
Yesterday Pastor Brandon reminded us of a powerful truth:
You may not have had a choice in what happened to you, but through Jesus, you don’t have to let it determine what happens next.
The betrayal was real.
The disappointment was real.
The pain was real.
But so is the grace of God! 🙌
Forgiveness doesn’t mean what happened was okay. It doesn’t mean the hurt wasn’t real. And it doesn’t mean you have to give someone another opportunity to hurt you.
FORGIVENESS CAN BE GIVEN. TRUST HAS TO BE REBUILT.
You can’t always control what others do to you, but you can choose what you allow to take root in your heart.
And here’s the good news:
YOUR PAIN MAY BE PART OF YOUR STORY, BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE TO WRITE THE REST OF IT!
As you begin this new week, don’t let yesterday’s hurt rob you of today’s peace or tomorrow’s purpose.
Keep your eyes on Jesus. Keep moving forward. And remember, there’s freedom in letting go of what you’ve been carrying. 💙
WHEN LIFE HITS HARD… WE RUN TO JESUS!
