You know those people - Aug 15, 2008

You know those people


You know those people that have done the worst things to you, that you should hate but can’t? I have some of those… It’s crazy. I know that we’re supposed to love everybody (love your enemy, pray for those who persecute you) and I try to, it’s just those people have hurt you so badly you don’t want to love them, but even when you’re angry with them you still can’t help but love them. 

You know those people that absolutely broke your heart but you can’t help but love them? I do. I sit here thinking about my broken heart and how I know I’ve broken others hearts. It makes me sad to think that I’ve made another person feel the way I feel. Either by saying something rude, not loving them like I should, rejecting their love, etc. 

You know those people that you give chances to time and time again but they keep screwing up and you’re so frustrated with them? We have to continually forgive them. We don’t have to let them walk all over us, we can say, “I forgive you, but we cannot be put in the position for this to happen again.” We’re those people sometimes. We continually screw up with God and He keeps on lovingly giving us His grace. His infinite chances! 

If you’re one of those people I’ve hurt, I ask for your forgiveness. I do apologize for not always being as beautiful and loving as I should be. I love each and every one of you, no matter how we’ve hurt each other. I may not like you because you’ve hurt me. I may not trust you again because you took advantage of me. I still love you. 

I sit here with tears because of the power of love. I can’t believe I can love someone some much. In awe because God loves me even more then I love you all.
