We tend to hold onto the hurts we experience, and, rather than deal with them, we try to forget. We avoid these things, or people, so we cannot be hurt again. They get packed away and as long as we can't see them, they are out of our minds.
How long? Sometimes we never take time to resolve our differences. We should change the hurt to love. We need to get them out and deal with them
Let us ask God to help us deal with them, for ourselves and for those whom we long to hold close to us.
Psalm 51:10-12
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
