This is probably the toughest question thus far to respond to. The laundry list is endless with this question but the one I choose to address today is, realizing not everyone is a morally good person. The regret I have in not learning this sooner, is the eyes that watched me throughout the years, adopting my way of thinking.
I realize now, as an adult with much maturing along the way, that had I listened more closely, to even what my body was telling me, things might have been different today. You see over the years I would hear why do you put up with that? How can you be so forgiving after that and on an on and my thoughts were always, everyone has good inside, they just need time to learn different behaviors or unlearn bad habits.
As much as I believer that today in some cases I’ve also accepted that it’s not necessarily the end result in every situation. I know with God all things are possible if the party is willing, but we are not forced nor were we created to unwilfully program. I now understand I can give all of me and love with all I am an it doesn’t produce the same from another individual. It’s a terrible cycle to pass on to the ones you love, seeing them giving 100% devotion and getting take take take in return. Trying to reason with them because you lived it an all they can see is kettle black. It can be crushing at times, but the hardest blow is knowing you were the example paving their impressionable minds.
My prayer today is, everyone knows their worth, the worth God has placed on you not man, to know you can only give what you have, an if you have depleted all there is to offer, don’t stay and give up yourself. God created each of us in the image of Christ an if you’re beginning to look any different than that please realize something is dangerously wrong.
