Damage to your soul comes mostly through the bitterness, contempt for yourself, false guilt, and unforgiveness — the things you do to yourself. The damage done by the original action against you pales in comparison.
Jesus will bring you out of a season of suffering and heal the wounds. He will make you strong inside and ready to march on, unless… that’s not what you want.
“Only your own sin damages your relationship with God. Even when someone wrongs you, your own sin keeps your heart perpetually wounded. God will gladly heal you if you come to Jesus and stay with Him. Bitterness, unforgiveness, anger…they leave lasting wounds, alter your perception and influence your behavior. Circumstances cannot separate you from God, but bitterness builds a wall which He will not violate.”
