Sometimes Pain Has Purpose

Lay aside bitter words, temper tantrums, revenge, profanity, and insults. But instead be kind and affectionate toward one another. Has God graciously forgiven you? Then graciously forgive one another in the depths of Christ’s love. Ephesians 4:31‭-‬32 TPT

Unforgiveness is like a wound that’s hidden under the skin but keeps leaching toxins into your bloodstream. It affects you more than you realize.

It’s those hidden things that we’ve buried instead of dealing with that create infections that must be treated or can cause terrible damage. Sometimes, it needs to be lanced, drained & cleaned so that healing can happen from the inside out.

Just because you can’t see it on the skin doesn’t mean it’s not there. Examine your heart, lay it all in Gods very capable hands.

Sometimes, pain has purpose! It exposes the things that hinder you from walking in the love of God.
