We have all experienced being hurt. Some hurts have been intentional. We can all recall the feelings we felt being hurt, however, can you recall what triggered the hurts?
There are different types of hurt, however, emotional hurt tends to have the greatest impact. Emotional hurt can run very deep causing a wounded heart or spirit. Not dealing with the source of your pain just covers up or masks the hurt. When you don't resolve your hurts, it's like walking around with an open sore. You put "ointment" on the sore, a scab forms and you're left with a scar.
As these scars accumulate, you begin to cover your pain by hoarding. You can hoard feelings of neglect, abandonment, hatred, self-loathing, bitterness, envy, rejection, etc. Each time you cover the pain, you add another layer of hurt. Eventually, your heart gets tight and you tend to feel sick.
What are you hoarding? What wounds are you covering up? In order to get to the root cause of the hoarding that is taking place in your heart, you must identify the wounds. Label and separate your hurts into categories (generational hurts, self-hurts, doubt, false beliefs, bad decisions, etc.). To start transforming your heart, work on the hurts that can be healed quickly.
Failing to resolve your hurts will only cause more pain. Isn't it time for you to have a healthy heart free from unnecessary "junk"?
In order to begin the healing process, take a look at hurts that you are allowing to build up; to fester. You will begin to recognize when you're feeling hurt. Let go of any "woe is me" mentalities that you may foster. Create a plan that will assist in reducing the clutter in your life. Before you know it, the negative thoughts will become positives. Your scarred heart will begin healing.
