I am hurt a lot and maybe I express it too often. I think it comes with the life I want to live. Sacrificing my selfish desires because I want to serve others in order to obey God and show love to them. This does not mean I always do it, but I want to. It hurts me to serve and not be served or actually just to feel like it is an endless give with no take in a relationship. I need to die to my selfishness in wanting to be served. I know that this time I am happy in my circumstance and learning, and I hope that in the future I will not be selfish. I know that serving others IN LOVE is obeying God and that is what brings me joy in a time of endless giving. I am hurt because I am seeking my own gain and not receiving my selfish wants, but if I truly choose to give in LOVE then I am no longer hurt and am happy, because it is IN LOVE. I think that everyone goes through this feeling at least once in their life. It hurts to tell someone you feel deeply for them and not have the slightest feeling felt back. When you are hurt, feel like no one cares, or are alone, like Whitney wrote yesterday, "...but I know this amazing truth that God is right there with me, through it all." That gives me joy, knowing Jesus loves me and will be my constant God. Glory to God because of how good He is! Jesus Christ is my example and I want to follow! Wow, getting longer every time! Read and prayed. Good morning and have a nice day!
