4: Hurts

The world is broken in many ways - our relationships with others, God, the planet and ourselves.

What hurtful things have been said to you?
What hurtful things have been done to you?
If you were to write a word or draw a symbol to describe this what would it be?
You might like to draw it now

What hurtful things have you said?
What hurtful things have you done?
If you were to write a word or draw a symbol to describe them what would it be?
You might like to draw it now

Look at your symbols.
Do you want to take them with you?
Or do you want to let them go?
"If we confess our sins God is faithful and just and will purify us from all unrighteousness"
Jesus said if you let go of the hurtful things people do to you, so God will also let go of the hurtful things you do. This is forgiveness.

Think carefully.
Are you willing to 'let go'?
If you are then throw the symbols in the bin.
Let go of them as God lets go of the hurtful things you do.

You are loved
You are free
You are forgiven
