Hurt People, Hurt People

I love people. I love watching them.

Sometimes I see people loving others-a smile, a moment spent solely on another, going out of their way for someone they have never met-it's beautiful.

Other times I see people in pain-lashing out in anger, indifferent to the hurt they have caused, selfishly bypassing the cares of others-it's heartbreaking.

These people:
Lash out in anger when they feel threatened or hurt.
Hurt others when desperate for attention.
Don't know how to manage their pain.
Respond the way they have been treated.

Most people aren't mean. They are hurting so bad that they can't communicate the pain they're in.

I have decided, I have resolved:
I am not going to shun, ignore, or belittle those who have been deprived of love. Those who have warped views of themselves and of the world.

I will love those He loves.

Because He's crazy about them.

Because it breaks His heart when they're in pain.

Because He desires them to know His crazy love.

His crazy, undeserving, unconditional LOVE.
