Thanks, Bud R., for this thought...numerous passages in scripture come to mind in support of this assertion--any favorites you'd like to share with the list?
"Inevitably, people do things to hurt us. Inevitably, we do things that hurt others. This is part of what it means to be human, to have feelings, to be imperfect, to be vulnerable. Compassion moves us beyond our own wounds and back into human community. It asks the question: 'What sort of people do bad things?' The answer: lonely, scared, ignorant, confused, sick, misguided, angry, fallible, human sort of people--in other words, each and every one of us."
--Mariah Burton Nelson
You've been prayed for today...
