Chesterton Topics: Humility, Healing, Hurt | The man who has no opinion of himself at all can never be hurt if others do not acknowledge him. Hence, be meek.

Author: Jack Hyles Topics: Love | All our murmurings are so many arrows shot at God Himself, and they will return upon our own hearts; they reach not Him, but they will hit us; they hurt not Him, but they will wound us; therefore it is better to be mute than to murmur; it is dangerous to provoke a consuming fire. Author: James H. Aughey Topics: Rebellion | I feel like God has forgiven me of so much, that I will forgive everyone who has hurt us. Author: Jim Bakker Topics: Forgiveness | You don't have to be alone in your hurt! Comfort is yours. Joy is an option. And it's all been made possible by your Saviour. He went without comfort so you might have it. He postponed joy so you might share in it. He willingly chose isolation so you might never be alone in your hurt and sorrow. Author: Joni Eareckson Tada Topics: Suffering, Comfort, Hurt | There is no enemy can hurt us but by our own hands. Satan could not hurt us, if our own corruption betrayed us not. Afflictions cannot hurt us without our own impatience. Temptations cannot hurt us, without our own yieldance. Death could not hurt us, without the sting of our own sins. Sins could not hurt us, without our own impenitence. Author: Joseph Hall Topics: Sin, Impatience, Hurt | The godly man contrarily is afraid of nothing; not of God, because he knows Him his best friend, and will not hurt him; not of Satan, because he cannot hurt him; not of afflictions, because he knows they come from a loving God, and end in his good; not of the creatures, since "the very stones in the field are in league with Him;" not of himself, since his conscience is at peace.

I got pain, and they got freedom without having to pay for the pain they caused. Now I realize that I'm helping myself when I choose to forgive. Author: Joyce Meyer Topics: Forgiveness | The only way to repay the devil for hurt and devastation in our personal lives is to aggressively and vehemently do the works of Jesus. Author: Joyce Meyer Topics: Service | The disappointment has come - not because God desires to hurt you or make you miserable or to demoralize you or ruin your life or keep you from ever knowing happiness. He wants you to be perfect and complete in every aspect, lacking nothing. It's not the easy times that make you more like Jesus, but the hard times. Author: Kay Arthur Topics: Suffering, Disappointment | Acrid bitterness inevitably seeps into the lives of people who harbor grudges and suppress anger, and bitterness is always a poison. It keeps your pain alive instead of letting you deal with it and get beyond it. Bitterness sentences you to relive the hurt over and over. Author: Lee Strobel Topics: Bitterness | As long as you live on earth, you won't see the end of injustices. Yet God desires for you to let go of injustices and hold on to His grace. Only He can give you the power to forgive those who have hurt you the deepest. Author: Paul Chappell Topics: Forgiveness | Christ bears the wounds of the church, his body, just as he bore the wounds of crucifixion. I sometimes wonder which have hurt worse. Author: Philip Yancey Source: The Jesus I Never Knew Topics: The Cross | As men cherish young plants at first and fence them about with hedges to keep them from hurt, but when they are grown they remove these things and leave them to the wind and weather, so God sustains His children at first with props of inward comforts, but afterwards He exposes them to storms and winds because they are better able to bear them. Therefore let no man think himself the better because he is more free from troubles than others; it is because God sees him not fit to bear greater.

Author: Rick Warren Topics: Pain, Hurt | Bible-believing churches and pastors could well apply this principle of pointing out faults without offending. We need to be careful that we do not let a carnal spirit divide us and hurt us so the Lord finds it difficult to use us. Author: Theodore Epp Topics: Church, Carnality | Perhaps we have been guilty of speaking against someone and have not realized how it may have hurt them. Then when someone speaks against us, we suddenly realize how deeply such words hurt, and we become sensitive to what we have done. Author: Theodore Epp Topics: Gossip | The truth that many people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more you try to avoid suffering the more you suffer because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you in proportion to your fear of being hurt. Author: Thomas Merton Topics: Suffering | No flattery can heal a bad conscience, so no slander can hurt a good one. Author: Thomas Watson Topics: Conscience | Over-sensitivity is another trait at which generally marks the soulish. Very difficult are they to live with because they interpret every move around them as aimed at them. When neglected they become angry. When they suspect changing attitudes towards them, they are hurt. They easily become intimate with people, for they literally thrive on such affection. They exhibit the sentiment of inseparability. A slight change in such a relationship will give their soul unutterable pains. And thus these people are deceived into thinking they are suffering for the Lord. Author: Watchman Nee Topics: Ignorance, Hurt, Relationships | The reason for our hurt feelings lies in the fact that we are not amenable to being treated as our Lord was and are loathe to submit ourselves to the will and ordering of God. Were we to deliver our natural energies to death and capitulate entirely to the Lord, our soul, though so nervously sensitive, would rest in the Lord and not misunderstand Him. Author: Watchman Nee Topics: Submission, Feelings, Rest | No more doth it hurt to say that the body and blood are not in the sacrament. Author: William Tyndale Topics: Heresy | Love is proportional to hurt. God is love, so He is enormously grieved by our sins. Author: Winkie Pratney Topics: Love, Sin | When the Bible tells us to pray for the very people who have hurt us, it's not to inflict more pain on us. Prayer is not about our hurt, it's about the needs of other people. Author: Woodrow Kroll Topics: Intercession |

Author: A.B. Simpson Topics: God | I wish, brothers and sisters, that we could all imitate "the pearl oyster"--A hurtful particle intrudes itself into its shell, and this vexes and grieves it. It cannot reject the evil, but what does it do but "cover" it with a precious substance extracted out of its own life, by which it turns the intruder into a pearl! Oh, that we could do so with the provocations we receive from our fellow Christians, so that pearls of patience, gentleness, and forgiveness might be bred within us by that which otherwise would have harmed us. Author: Charles Spurgeon Topics: Godliness | It hurts when God has to PRY things out of our hand! Author: Corrie Ten Boom Topics: Discipline | By the all-powerful dispensations of Providence I have been protected beyond all human probability or expectation; for I had four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot under me yet escaped unhurt, although death was leveling my companions on every side of me! Author: George Washington Topics: Providence | Nothing can be more hurtful to the service, than the neglect of discipline; for that discipline, more than numbers, gives one army the superiority over another. Author: George Washington Topics: Obedience, Discipline, War | Also, forgive yourself for past sins and hurts you have caused others. You can't pay people back, so ask God to. Author: Joyce Meyer Topics: Forgiveness | Being angry with God is quite common. People frequently ask, "If God is good, all-powerful, and full of love for us, why didn't He stop the thing that caused the pain?" This is where Satan seeks to build a wall between God and the hurting person. He seizes the opportunity to say, "God isn't good, and He can't be trusted." However, we know according to the Word of God, the truth is not in Satan--he is a liar and the father of lies. Author: Joyce Meyer Topics: Pain, Satan | Snuggle in God's arms. When you are hurting, when you feel lonely, left out. let Him cradle you, comfort you, reassure you of His all-sufficient power and love. Author: Kay Arthur Topics: Suffering, Comfort, Hurt | We make ourselves more injuries than are offered to us; they many times pass for wrongs in our own thoughts, that were never meant so by the heart of him that speaketh. The apprehension of wrong hurts more than the sharpest part of the wrong done. Author: Owen Feltham Topics: Character, Hurt | If you trust yourself to walk in the light of your own conscience, uninstructed or little instructed by the Word of God, you will end up doing things that you are deeply and sincerely convinced are right. But they may be terribly hurtful and destructive within the Church. Author: Ray C. Stedman Topics: Ignorance, Church | Resentment always hurts you more than the person you resent.
