Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

There is a saying we often use for people who never seem to judge, “He/she does not have a bad word to say about anyone."  These people always seem to find the good in everyone, trying to understand why something would happen, or if they cannot find a reason just keeping quiet, often I am sure, suffering in silence.

It is not that they condone bad behaviors, but they choose to try to understand why the person displays these behaviors. They separate the sin from the sinner.

I pray to be one of those people, someone who keeps their peace no matter how wronged.  A person who chooses to see the good and who ALWAYS worries more about their own sins than the sins of others.

It is hard. When we are hurt or feel we are being treated unjustly, our natural reaction is to become defensive. In the end, I recognize this is a lack of trust in God on my part. If I were truly grounded in Him, it would not bother me how I was treated or what people thought, only that my heart belonged to God and my sole aim would be to live His life.

I pray one day I will become one of those people, but chances are it will probably not happen until, by His grace, I reach heaven. In the meantime, I keep on trying and keep on confessing, and keep on praying for those I feel treat me unjustly. Some days I do better than others, but all days I trust in God’s mercy remembering we are all sinners and I very well may be that person who drives someone else crazy!
