12 Faithful Women Quotes

“TRUST GOD WITH YOUR REPUTATION AND RELATIONSHIPS. Helen was often hurt by her co-laborers in ministry. Yet, instead of nursing her wounds, she tried to see occasions where she felt hurt as opportunities for God to reveal her pride to her. When you feel hurt, ask God to reveal your pride to you. Grieve, but entrust your reputation and relationships to him.”

“When you feel hurt, stop and pray . . . ‘[H]urt’ means that the self is very much alive, and striving to get back on the throne of my life. If Jesus really indwells me, I ought not to be hurt. I may well be grieved at the behavior of others, or by certain events, but not hurt. Hurt is a symptom of self. If I let the Lord have His rightful place on the throne of my life, He will handle that which causes the hurt.15”
