If you ever interact with other people you will be hurt, because hurting people hurt people. Most everybody has been hurt, is hurt, or will be hurt. Oftentimes these people will hurt you in an area that you are hurting in. They can tell you are still sore there and go for that place. Then you react to them by hurting them back in the area that they are hurting in too. This vicious cycle continues and goes on and on and on. There is no end to it; unless you decide to step out of this hurt cycle. How do you step out? See past your own pain; recognize their pain; then love and forgive them.  It takes a very secure person to do this. One who desires to be healed and wants to help others heal. This would be the person that take the path less traveled. This is the person that takes forgiveness, love, and mercy to a whole new level. Yeah, I desire to be this person. I am not quite there yet on a consistent basis, but I am getting closer everyday. You too can do this. Make the decision today to see past your own hurts, and see others through the eyes of love, forgiveness, and mercy. Be a giver of grace. Is there someone who is hurting you now? Will you see past your pain in order to love and forgive them?
