Jesus Plan to Handle Life’s Hurts – “Recycling My Pain”



"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over." Psalms 23:5 (NKJV)


WRONG WAYS TO HANDLE HURT

• IGNORE IT

 
"I was mute with silence, I held my peace even from good; And my sorrow was stirred up." Psalms 39:2 (NKJV)

• RUN FROM IT

 
 “If only I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest. How far away I would flee; I would stay in the wilderness. I would hurry to my shelter from the raging wind and the storm.” Psalms 55:6-8 (HCSB)

• HIDE IT

 
"Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed." James 5:16 (HCSB)

• WORRY OVER IT

 
"Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God." Colossians 3:2-3 (NKJV)

• BECOME BITTER ABOUT IT

 
"…man’s anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness." James 1:20 (HCSB)


THREE RIGHT WAYS TO DEAL WITH HURT
"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over." Psalms 23:5 (NKJV)

• Let Jesus PROTECT YOU

 

• Let Jesus HEAL YOU

 

• Let Jesus BLESS YOU

 
 
 
“How does Jesus bless you?”
 
Are you living an overflowing life?
 Are you living in God’s abundance?
 Are you living in God’s victory?
 

Let me tell you, if you have Jesus as your savior you can say:
My cup runs over with HOPE,
My cup runs over with LOVE,
My cup runs over with JOY!
