Get Over It

Deuteronomy 31:8 “The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
We are so blessed to have God to lean on. When others have left us or let us down, we still have God. When we feel others don’t care, God cares. When we feel we are being treated unfairly, God will always be fair. God does not want us to be afraid or discouraged because He is always with us no matter how we feel others are treating us.

However, in some situations, we may feel others have treated us wrong, but our thoughts and feelings aren’t exactly in line with reality. We can make things up in our minds and get our feelings hurt over something that really isn’t anything at all. We can let our emotions get the best of us when the other person didn’t really mean what they said or did to hurt us.

When someone says or does something, we sometimes take it personally. We have to remember what is going on in their mind and their reasons are different from our own. What they do may not be to hurt us but to help them and they don’t realize how we feel because they don’t know how we think. Just as we don’t know how they think so we can’t really understand why they do what they do.

We can’t always depend on others because sometimes their actions disappoint us; however, we don’t know what God is doing in their lives and in ours. We don’t know their needs like He does. We don’t understand that where we may be experiencing disappointment someone else is actually receiving a blessing. That’s why we need to just trust God and not get our feelings involved.

We have to remember there is not always hidden meaning in everything that happens to us. Just because someone does or says something, we should get over it and not take it personally. We are to just trust God. God knows the motives of everyone. God knows what they need. Everything is not always about us. We may have something happen where we feel like someone did something intentionally to hurt us but we don’t know the whole story.

Others don’t realize sometimes their actions hurt us. We need to get over our hurt and let God be our resource for happiness and love. When we put others needs before our own, we know God will work on all the little things so we don’t even have to worry about them. We can just do the right thing and understand God is taking care of everything.

We need to just get past our own feelings and get over it. When we can move on and give our thoughts and feelings to God, He can help us move past things so we don’t feel sorry for ourselves, then we can look to see the good in everyone. God can help us see how we can take the circumstances off of us and allow God to use us as a blessing to that person. He can help us get over it and move on.

There are more needier people in the world than we are. We know we have God to lean on while other people may not know that. Other people may know and believe in God but aren’t able to trust Him in the little or the big things. People may have to reach out to us so God can do His work through us.

When we allow God to go before us and be with us, we can stop letting our feelings control us. We can look to God to make a path for us and know that what others say and do may be an opportunity to help rather than get our feelings hurt over something. When we realize everything is not about us and we learn to get over it, then we can allow God to help us make a difference.
