It's true, you know. I was reminded of this over the past few days, for hurtful and shocking reasons. It makes me mad. It makes me mad that we can be so intentionally malicious to one another, that we don't seem to care about a moral compass. What happened to right and wrong? When did the lines become so blurry? Something casts a grey light over goodness and decency and love. This isn't right, and it stirs something in my heart.
We wonder why some people struggle with trust. It's not really that hard to figure out. How do you trust when your experience is riddled with stabs in the back and punches in the gut? It's sad. It's especially sad when we use God as our weapon or, even worse, our mask. We hurl insults and call them corrections, stones and call them tough love. We hide behind things like grace and redemption, but we ignore loving enemies, loving others the same way we want them to love us, loving them the way Christ loves us. We forget this everyday stuff. We forget because we're selfish, and we only give as much as we can get back (and sometimes not even that much). What has happened to us?
