Hurt - a Christian perspective
A godly person does the right thing, and remains honest, even when it hurts. We may for doing the right thing at times, but we can be sure that God is pleased with us when we stand up for what's right regardless.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Broken At Christmas - #8162
...may be that’s a feeling someone listening today knows all too well. Here we are in the season when everybody’s all “joy to the world” and you’re dealing with the pain of a broken relationship, or a broken dream, or a broken heart.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Freedom From Depression
Sometimes it's easy to feel like you're a bird locked up in a cage wanting to be free. Your cage may be your painful memories, a broken heart, or a broken dream. ... Maybe you’re caged in by an addiction, a habit, or some anger that is eating you up inside. It also might be depression or even suicidal thoughts that have you held in. There's a cover on that cage, whatever it is. It's dark in there and there isn't anything to sing about.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - An Extravagant Gift
Maybe you haven’t been shown much unconditional love. Maybe there is someone who should have been there for you in your life, but wasn't. ... Maybe there is someone who has betrayed you or who's abandoned you. There is someone who has paid an extravagant price for you. He is the One who made you and holds your eternity in His hands. He loves you very, very much. Just look at the price he paid for you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Behind the Happy Face
Behind many a happy face hides a hurting heart, and maybe that describes you. The happy face helps you live in a temporary denial of the pain inside, and it keeps other people from knowing a you that you're afraid they might not accept. Like the beach ball that you push farther and farther under the water, the deeper you bury it, the higher it's going to go when it's released. You can't bury the real you forever. As far as everyone knows, maybe you're the happy one or maybe even the hero, but you know that there's a wounded monster inside you. You're a wounded person with no place to bleed.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Totaled At Christmas
It's no fun having your car totaled or to have your life totaled, especially at Christmas. In the midst of all the joy and excitement, maybe the Christmas season finds you wounded and hurting. Divorce, disaster, death, depression, and disappointment hurt anytime, but especially at Christmas.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Animal's Fury
Ever wonder why you can't control your anger? It’s because there is a deadly animal inside you, tearing you apart. It's that part of you that says things that deeply hurt the people you love even though you don't really want to hurt them. ... It's whatever produces the dark side of you—the bitterness, self-destructive thoughts, adulterous inclinations, and the anger. This is the side of you that you hate. The people you love hate it and God hates it, but you seem powerless to fight it off.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Volcano Scars
When you're angry, you're probably a lot like a volcano. You erupt, spew out your lava, and often blow away a piece of the other person, if not yourself. ... Every one of us carries around parts of us that have been mortally wounded by something someone said to us in anger. They may have forgotten it, but we can't ever forget it because those create volcano scars. Why do we do this to other people and usually the people we love the most?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Hurt Too Big to Handle - #8128
Their daughter had been counting down to her wedding when it happened. The day before, she had journaled about how her life had been pretty easy so far, and she didn’t know how she could handle something terrible happening. Well, the next day it did and she said, “His grace really is sufficient.” ... You know, it really is. That’s why tragedy or the fear of one doesn’t have to take you on a massive detour from a life that matters.
