Once there was a girl who was talented, pretty, and smart. But she had a bad temper. When she got angry, she said and did hurtful things. Her father became concerned about her and decided to teach her a lesson.
He gave the girl a bag of nails and a hammer.
"Whenever you lose your temper," he told her, "Go out back to that old fence. Take one of the nails and hammer it into the fence as hard as you can. Hold nothing back."
Over the next few weeks, the girl did what her father asked. Eventually, all the nails were gone.
"Now," her father
said, "Pull out one of the nails." The girl did it.
The father then said gently, “Even though the nail is gone now, there is a hole left behind. You can patch it, but this fence will never be the same. That is what you do to others when you say or do hurtful things. You will always leave a hole, no matter how many times you say you are sorry."
Many Christians have "holes" left behind from past hurts. If you don't allow God to heal them, they can impact your ability to love others and have a healthy relationship with yourself.
In the book, you will learn how people in the book of Psalm dealt with emotions like feeling abandoned, angry, comfortless, doubtful, fearful, and
others.
