People who are hurting inside have been hurt either spiritually, physically, or both. People have said some things to me that maybe hurt my feeling just a little, but compared to the way they are hurting inside it is nothing. It appears that, the people who are missing something in their lives, or have been hurt in a monumental way, have a hurt that never goes away. After they experience this huge hurt they NEVER want to be hurt again. To prevent themselves from getting hurt again, they hurt others. Maybe they are bitter and want someone else to feel the same way, or it just feels better to tear others down. My heart goes out to the people who are rude, harsh, judging, "always right", a "know it all" etc... They just need to be loved. The bitter people are the ones that need the most love.
If I ever experience a hurt in my life, it encourages me to know that whatever I go through, Jesus has gone through the same things. Everyone goes through hurt in their life, and everyone needs someone to love them. Rather than me being bitter through my hurts, I will help others through their hurts too, and look for ways to help them. Because the truth is... Hurt people, hurt other people. I need to love them through their hurt, and be aware that they are going through a hard time. I need to think about how I can help them.
