Heyy I promised to write more on I’m a Christian but…… however I haven’t had the time to sit with that well until today. I hope you’re blessed and please feel free to write anything on this piece and mail it to me, who knows your openness about your struggle could rescue another. busayokehinde81@gmail.com is my mail address.
I have heard of people who had some really hurtful experiences in their past, maybe you lost a parent, someone walked out on you, a history of abuse, or molestation and now years after you still feel hurt sometimes, and maybe you’ve been told that you’ve not forgiven and that’s why you still hurt. I’m sorry if this isn’t what you expect but the hurt doesn’t mean you haven’t forgiven or you’re still bitter, if we’ll be honest we forgive the problem isn’t unforgivness. You could have totally forgiven the issue is we’re human and we don’t ever really forget, it’s in your memory and all you need is something familiar, maybe a smell, a picture, a name, a trip and there again where the pain happened, you’re not angry you’re just hurt and you wish it never happened. I wish people would stop saying to people get over it when they are hurt by things that have gone on in the past, or dive into a long sermon about how you should not be hurt because you are a Christian, sometimes I see people hurt themselves in the name of trying to be Christians, they’ll be hurting but wouldn’t get help and they’ll be forcing a plastic smile on their face and be suffering and hurting in silence and in the end when the hurt gets too much they end up committing suicide. I’m Christian and I still hurt over the past doesn’t make me any less a Christian it only leaves me human, Christianity isn’t synonymous to no hurt, you would be hurt because you are human but the hurt wouldn’t get the better of you and that’s what matters, so don’t even allow anyone tell you you’re unforgiving because you still hurt once in a while its only normal to feel that way especially when something was lost or taken away from you. So my light may be broken (I still hurt) but I still work (I’m still a Christian).
