Hurt

Sometimes hurt comes up from behind and sucker punches you. You crumple to the floor, gasping and it gives you a little kick. Just when you think you can't take it anymore, it grabs your hair and pulls...really hard.

It happened to me this past week and just as I swore I wouldn't let myself be hurt anymore, it came in for a second round. At first I laid there. But then something rose up in me. I got up and I cried, "Jesus." I called on His name. And the most amazing thing happened. His peace came. I could feel His love. He knocked the hurt back and away. Thank you Jesus. He's the only one who won't disappoint, He's always faithful.
