THE WOUNDED HEART {The Rock}

INTRO: A wounded heart occurs when someone or something brings hurt to your emotions.

"The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly" Proverbs 26:22.

 

I. SOURCES OF HURTS

a. Result of offense brought to us from others.

(People say and do things to hurt us) Proverbs 18:8.

b. Result from our own sinful behavior. Psalms 25:18, Proverbs 17:19, II Samuel 24:10.

c. Result from a calamity where one is overcome by the experience. Job 3:25-26.

d. Result from drug and alcohol use. Proverbs 23:29-35.

e. Hurts never just go away! Time will not bring complete healing to them. Whenever you remember the experience, you feel the hurt. Some people will even block out their memory so that they won't have to face feeling the hurts, but they are still there.

 

 

II. SOME SYMPTOMS OF A WOUNDED HEART

a. Physically - Proverbs 17:22

b. Mentally - Proverbs 18:14

c. Spiritually - Matthew 18:34

 

 

 

 

 

****************************************************************************

*Prayer of Discernment to God on what you read in each section. Ask God for his guidance on what you just read. Write your questions down if something needs further clarity or more prayer.

*Closing Benediction: “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.” AMEN.

* Close your eyes after you blow out your candle. Relax for 5-10 minutes before you resume your daily routines.
