Sometimes, ‘Hits Keep Coming’ due to the actions of others in our lives!

Sometimes it’s someone so major that we can’t just move on and avoid them! Perhaps it was an abuser! We may still be under their control, or the mind control won’t go away! Maybe it was a parent who wasn’t all they should have been and continue to leave voids and disappointments! We can’t change them, what was, what is, and the lingering hurt!

When we’re victims of desertion or abandonment, it’s hard to convince ourselves that they are the ones who are broken and lacking! We didn’t do it, really aren’t responsible for them, but we suffer from guilt and shame anyway!

Maybe it’s a former spouse who promised so much, but walked away! But the pain didn’t end with their departure! You may watch your children hurt time and time again by one who’s beyond your control! And “The Hits Keep Coming”!

Although the hits and scenarios are endless, the constant!  Comfort can happen if we keep our eyes and hearts fixed on Him!

But you prayed for that person to be ‘The right one’! Where you could build a life and live happily ever after like the other people around you! GOD COULD HAVE KEPT THIS FROM HAPPENING! Hits because of the actions of others!

Joseph suffered in Egyptian slavery and imprisonment due to the envy of his elder brothers! Read his story in the book of Genesis for examples of ‘Hits That Keep Coming’! Dysfunctional family, loss of his mother at an early age~ Unfair! Unfair! Unfair! Envy, strife, backbiting, division, and dreams! But through it all, Joseph maintained trust and a relationship with the Lord that saw him through to ultimate triumph!

Luke 17:4&5 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent: thou shalt forgive him.

And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

When the Lord doesn’t prevent the ‘Hits’ from coming, He has a plan to make us better with the scars than  if we had survived life unscarred! Trust His goodness! God is good! All the time!
