It is hard to love… it is hard to forgive. It is hard to understand. It is hard to forget.

It is easy to believe that we are harmed because there are bad people in the world that seek out to hurt us. We just got in their path. That is easy. It is us being a victim of the bad world.

It is hard being rejected and not knowing exactly why. Assuming everything and not knowing anything for sure. Past shame pops into the mind and will not be silenced. Current situations are magnified and we have to stare long and hard into that mirror and know that it is us. It is us that causes the chaos, that made the bad decisions, that chooses to overlook bad behavior and be ran over and walked upon. It is us that decides how people treat us and if we let them treat us badly… most will, not all at one time but little by little. Seeing just how far they can go.

Then there is a point, a place a moment in time that clearly wakes us up. That moment where we realize that we have to speak up for ourselves. We have to take a stand and tell the world, that this is not good enough anymore! We have to forgive ourselves for allowing this to happen and know that we have already been forgiven by Father God. We have to trust in Him, in the process of healing, in the process of life.

Much Love 💜 Much Life
