Loralyn Hamilton/Pixie Dust:Magical Insights for Childbirth and Life with Little Ones

"Work like you don't need the money.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Love like you have never been hurt."
Satchel Page

Yesterday I was listening to Rev Jenzen Franklin. He shared this quote from the first African-American pitcher in the baseball league. The good Reverend said that the most important part of the quote was the statement, "Love like you have never been hurt.
I had to chew on that for a bit. In my mind I grew up feeling that it was more acceptable to be "hurt" than "angry". You could forgive, but the hurt would still be there. This statement blows that theory out of the water.
When someone hurts me or spreads lies about me, it hurts. I am justified in my hurt about these things. Aren't I? I have been praying that I become known as a person who forgives.
In my mind I thought that I could forgive and still hold onto the hurt. I could even love the unlovely while remembering the hurt they cause. This quote messes all of that up. "Love like you have never been hurt." Is that even Scriptural?
I am afraid it is. Jesus said as He was on the cross, "Forgive them for they know not what they do." This kind of love is only possible with the help of our Father God. He promises to walk me through it. I am striving to follow in His steps while holding onto His hand.
