Series: Psalm 23
Psalm 23: 5
Because we live in an imperfect world, you’re going to be hurt. You’ll be hurt by accidents, by illnesses but the deepest hurts you’ll have in your life will come from people. Relationships are the greatest source of stress in our lives.
Five things to not do when people hurt you…
What not to do when you hurt…
- Don’t ignore it. (Ps. 39: 2-3)

- Don’t hide your hurt. (James 5:16)
- Don’t worry about it. (Job 5:2)
- Don’t resent it. (Job 1:4)
Three symbols of how to get healed from hurt…

If you’re hurting, Jesus invites you to a banquet—–He has prepared a table before you in the presence of your enemies— He will anoint your head with the oil of His love—-He will fill your cup until it overflows…That’s deal we can’t refuse!
