Many
years ago I signed myself into a hospital because I was
feeling suicidal. While in the hospital, I crawled under the
bed because I was afraid of people and had no desire to
live. The nurses would keep pulling me out and as soon as
they left my room I would crawl back under the bed.
This went on for two weeks until one night on the midnight
shift a nurse I had never met literally got down on her
hands and knees and crawled under the bed with me and laid
beside me. She took hold of my hand and told me that she
wouldn't let anybody hurt me and it was safe to come out. I
didn't believe her but I did come out after she laid there
for about an hour with me.
There are many people who are under the bed in their
emotions. They are afraid to show their emotions for fear of
being ridiculed and put down. We need to open our hearts to
others who are hurting emotionally and all of us hurt in one
way or the other.
I encourage you to find someone you can trust, someone who
won't judge you or make fun of you and open your heart to
that person. I know from experience that the only way to get
rid of all the hurt in our hearts is to start talking to
others.
God said that we are to bear one another's burdens. It is
impossible to bear someone's burdens if we don't know what
they are. The best way to help someone is by sharing what
you have been through so that person will know that you
really do care and understand.
Come out from under the bed in your emotions into the Arms
of Jesus. He Loves you so much and is yearning to fellowship
with you. You have tried everything else and it didn't work.
Try Jesus and you will be victorious through the Love of
Jesus.
