Now I finally found the inspiration to writer the next publication, Why Wasseminarians Hate God.

Thank you for sharing very deep revelations. The hurt in a sacred place is always transformative.

Thank you for sharing this debs. It’s so important.

People have trivialised church hurt and yes, there has been some funny cases but there has also been some people who had been genuinely hurt by people who should have been a true representation of God and his love to them, like you said, you won’t understand until you go through the hurt yourself.

A person may be judgemental towards the way someone else handled church hurt and run their mouth any how, but when that same person go through church hurt, their reaction and resolve to church after that maybe worse.

It’s so beautiful that we have a God that is mindful about every one of us.

Dear Believer who has experienced hurt, God cares about that hurt even more than you do, don’t forget that he loves you way more than you could ever love yourself.

God wants to heal your heart, God cares deeply about your emotions too and he wants to hear you pour out those resentment you have been carrying.

Dear Believer who, take a step at a step to healing from hurt in God and with God.❤️

Thank you for sharing this Babe! I feel for them and my heart always aches for them to see Christ as they should, not tainted the errors of man. It’s a tough place to be but we keep praying that they find their way back home. 🙏

Timely word. I’m currently reading the book of revelations and this rings true. I love this: God wants us to feel everything with Him, not apart from Him

It makes me so sad whenever people I admired begin to turn away or completely turn away from the faith. And I always wonder what happened too and it's never from a place of judgement but genuine concern. I sometimes wish I could ask them personally.

I pray God draws them back soon because we want them here😪
