The Hard Truths About Confrontation
It hurts. If you are the type of person who is not used to share your feelings, it feels so awkward and uncomfortable at first. It takes so much courage. It feels like you are trying to peel off all your excuses and deal with what is truly on the inside. It’s like facing a giant that you can’t see. Confronting someone is not easy. It takes a genuine and a vulnerable heart to do it.
Part of you can’t help but ask if you said the right words, or perhaps you hurt someone you love because of the things you just expressed. Sometimes, you will find yourself just staring at a blank space, thinking about what just happened. You will sometimes feel overwhelmed and, at the same time, relieved. It’s like you are on the highest hill of a roller coaster ride, and you can’t help but scream until all your fears vanish. It’s when you will realize that dealing with what’s on the inside is not for the fainthearted.
These are the hard truths about confrontation. It takes a lot of courage to become vulnerable to the people who hurt you. It’s scary because you will never know how they will respond. But even though it’s not easy to do it, we still need to face our pain. Because if we don’t confront it, nothing will change.
It may be uncomfortable, but it’s necessary for our growth. Our situation will stay the same if we don’t confront those things with which we need to deal. It’s not every day that we are given the chance to escape and hide our feelings. At some point, we will reach that moment when we really need to confront the wrong things that people did or even the negative things we tried to hide deep within. It’s part of the healing process.
That’s why if God has already convicted you to face the ugly and painful things in your life, then it means that His strength will be there to help you. You can ask for His help. He will assist you and give you enough wisdom on how to do it. Just remember that God is your source of strength. You can do all things because God is with you. His hands will be there to hold you. He will comfort you, especially when the pain tries to reign. You will never be alone.
