Are You Hurting Today?

Johnny Cash - Hurt

I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel. I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole the old familiar sting try to kill it all away but I remember everything.
What have I become? My sweetest friend, everyone I know, goes away in the end.
You could have it all, my empire of dirt. I will let you down, I will make you hurt.
I wear my crown of thorns, sit on my liar's chair. Full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair. Beneath the stains of time. The feeling disappears, you are someone else, and I am still right here.
What have I become? My sweetest friend, everyone I know, goes away in the end. You could have it all, my empire of dirt. I will let you down, I will make you hurt.
If I could start again a million miles away, I would keep myself, I would find a way.

Are you hurting today?
The devil tries to fill our minds up with doubt. He promises us the world, like he did Jesus in Matthew Chapter 4. But like Jesus we need to keep our minds fixed on God's everlasting love. We all have experiance some type of pain or hurt in our lives and we need to remember that Jesus is still in control. I don't know the pain you might be feeling today, but I do know that there is HOPE in Jesus Christ. I speak from experiance today, there's no one in this world that loves me like Jesus. He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. I would like to invite you to your local church. Find a BIBLE BELIEVING church and connect with people who have experianced God in a real way. God bless you, give your burdens to the Lord and leave them there.
