Topic: Erasing Emotional Wrongs And Hurts

Minor events of life can often set off feelings of hatred more readily than the occurrence of major events. In this regard, we must make every effort to erase or discard our inner scorecard of wrongs and hurts inflicted against us. Keeping a record of wrongs within your heart will kill you. When reminders come up reminding us of a past hurt or past wrong, we must, at that very moment, seek God's help to forgive. We must prayerfully seek God's help to let old hurts fade away. Forgetting or trying to push the memory of emotional wrongs or hurts out of our memory is not forgiving. Forgetting permits the wrong or hurt to come back later to haunt us. However, forgiving heals us and permanently gets rid of the wrong or hurt. When we fully and completely forgive, the effort to forgive means we have let the old hurt go. When we forgive, we are healed. When we do not forgive, the old hurt keeps hurting, we keep hurting, and over time all the hurting accumulates and we pay a price in sickness or even death.
