Every single person is the way that they are for a reason. Not one of us come into this world with the mental capability of knowing who we are or what we are “suppose” to do.
We learn that as we go.
Some are even actually trained to be a certain way,
That’s literally all they have ever known.
From whatever human or source that is there.
It doesn’t justify the bad decision that we make nor does it does it mean that we shouldn’t receive the proper consequences for our actions. But it is the key factor into actually helping that person.
We are all of God’s children!
Take a criminal for instance:
You see a punk who has no goals set higher than his next scroll through the local trash.
Has a track record for days, one charge after another.
Enemy’s everywhere, because he’s shady and he is skiddish,
He is also very mean and angry toward everyone.
He is controlling and standing from “your shoes” he seems to be cool with where he is standing at in life.
What you don’t see:
Is the meth pipe that his mom and/or dad handed him at the age 10 or 11 as an answer to all of his pain.
He was not even done growing or maturing.
Or how about his love for animals that is beyond words and amazingly beautiful;
that he shows them because they are loyal.
They have never hurt him like the insults of a human or the aches of a handed down addictive life.
The derogatory remarks of how worthless and useless he is because he isn’t doing good enough, but absolutely no proof in the world around him that is even an option.
The more hurt he holds in the angrier he gets.
No one let’s him no he needs to release it, to ease it.
Consequences are there for a reason,
to correct the bad behavior.
Not to condemn a person because “your” judgment says that they are not worthy.
Jesus died on the cross to save all of us! None of us are perfect and God knew that in the beginning and never expects us to be in the end.
