Replacing Hurt with Heart
Do you remember this song? "Everyone Hurts" by R.E.M. It is a song of truth, a song that states that no matter who you are or where you have been or how much money you have, you have been hurt or are hurting right now or will hurt in the future. The great thing about hurt is that we will need people. We need people to help us through the hurt. Even though the word "hUrt" has a big "U" in the middle, the people in our lives don't let "U" hurt alone. Friends and family promulgate their love and empathy and joy all over our person hood that we should have little time to hurt. But as they leave and we are home in the long hours of the night, we find that the pain remains. You could be the biggest entertainer on the planet or the President himself and find yourself lonely in this world of Hurt. But here is where the truth comes in- when ever we focus on ourselves or the U in hurt, that is when it burns the most. However, when we consider the lives of others who are less fortunate, we realize how much "Heart" we possess. When we break down this word "Heart" we found two words, "he" and "art", which remind me that He(God) Art(or "is" or "be") with us in our time of need.
How Great Thou Art= How Great He Is!!!
This is a promise and this should be our thought each time we want to focus on the "hurt", we should replace the "U" with an "EA" and know that in our Heart is where He Be! His occupation of that tender spot brings the needed resuscitation that we need and our hurt is no more. He Art with us and our hurt is gone.....
