Greater Than

A message by: James Brummett

Reality is that we can’t make it through life without somebody hurting us, leaving nicks, cuts, and sometimes even gashes in our souls; and we have to learn how to access the God who is greater than our hurt. It just doesn’t work when we try to cover our wounds with success or achievement or try to keep the hurts deeply buried. Rather than burying the hurt, we have to acknowledge it; and rather than expecting instantaneous healing from God, we have to have a persevering mindset. Healing takes time. In God’s mind, our hurt always has two intended recipients: us and someone else. Typically it’s our wounds that equip us to serve others in their woundedness. And with regard to the one who has caused us hurt, we have to leave justice to God, the God who is greater than.
