WHO HURT YOU?

I wish I had a permanent healing bandage for those who have long been at war with those who have caused them a great deal of pain. The damage they have caused you is not pretty at all and the way many of you treat yourselves and others as result of the pain that you have endured, isn’t right at all.

You are hurting and you want people to feel what you are feeling because you are hurt? I wish I could set you free.

Your fight isn’t with people who haven’t caused you pain, your war is with your enemies. Your war is with yourself!

Get Right Within! Get Right With Them!

Set those hostages — who’ve done you no harm, free from your prison. Harming them will only cause you to hurt more.

Blood isn’t pleasant at all; but many of us have blood on our hands and don’t even know it.
