     According to Patrick Shaughnessy, there are four ways to deal with the hurts that come into our lives:

  1. Nurse them.

  2. Curse them.

  3. Rehearse them.

  4. Reverse them.

      If this was a spiritual game show, then

  • Behind Door #1 is a free sore stomach. 

  • Behind Door #2 is costly bitterness, the sour virus that spreads to other people.

  • Door #3 is the poverty of fewer friends because they have heard your tales of woe too often.

  • Door #4 is God’s grace, and eternal life, the best gifts of all. Look at what He has done with the hurt Jesus suffered on the Cross.

    Choose Door #4, if you have not done so yet!
