Is it so wrong to have an awareness of being hurt when things are said or done that you know hurt the one you love? What hurts God? Conscience: The faculty of recognizing the distinction between right and wrong in regard to one's conduct coupled with a sense that one should act accordingly. Conformity to one's own sense of right conduct. In all truth and fairness. To know wrong. Perhaps you are right I need to have professional Christian help but perhaps I needed to realize that the hurt I feel may be I am sensitive to error. And when error shows up and is expressed I hurt. I get a twinge (a sharp, sudden physical pain, a mental or emotional pain). Perhaps having a twinge of conscience is not to be looked upon as a bad thing but as a gift given by the one I love the most. A gift I needed to understand. I do not want to lose my consciousness of error. Even if it hurts I still want to be able to see. Because I know that if I have the capacity to be hurt by sin then I have the capacity to confess and be forgiven for sin and to avoid it. Just as I would never want to give up being able to feel physical hurt because to do so would leave me unprotected to avoid situations of pain I do not want to give up being able to feel spiritual hurt for with it brings a protection to avoid situations of spiritual pain. And I do love and live in compassion with my family. All that is wrong is I cannot live in like 'thoughts and action' with them. I do not need counseling to realize that I am to follow, keep my mind and actions, on Jesus or to feel hurt when my loved ones do not seek this. I am a sinner saved by grace. The same grace that saved me is extended to them. I walk knowing my hope is in another, not in my flesh or in the world or in anything else but in the blood of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This walk means I will have feelings that get hurt because how can I not be hurt when people fail to see what a great gift we've been given? How easy it is to fall short of the plan and purpose of his salvation. And I am glad I opened up here because it gave me the opportunity to figure out why it is I grieve and how to live with this grief. |

VerticalRelationship, I totally agree with much of what you have said. We Christians are so bombarded with sin on a daily basis, that a lot of times it nolonger have the effect on us that it should. I believe this is wrong. I live in a real bad section of town. About a couple of months ago, I was coming home from work. I commute on public transportation. I got off the bus and one of the first things I noticed was a dead body lying in the street. He had just been shot in the face. The authorities were just arriving, so I walked around the body and went home. I gave no thought of the individual. No thought of his family, and absolutely no thought of his spiritual relationship with God, if it was any. Later the Holy Spirit convicted me of all this. My excuse, as lame as it was, I’m surrounded by death. I turn on the News to find that someone died. I come home to find that someone has died. The same is true in the Newspaper. My conscience has become deaden to something that I should have concern over. If we’re not consciously concern about the plight of others, how are we supposed to act accordingly?? DO NOT BECOME INSENSITIVE TO ERROR!! That can and will evoke a Spiritual Lesson from your Spiritual Teacher, and I can testify to that one. The CurtMan |
