Hurt Alert

Is it not possible or even probable that you and I, and millions more, have risen from the ash-heaps of a deep and painful hurt? Do you not know, as do I, of at least one who has been deeply wounded but has been healed and no longer hurts others but aids in the healing of others? More often than we realize, hurt people will hurt other people. Let us beware of the hurt alert. The sequence is on auto pilot, and we did not program the functionality, nor did we push the on button. Nevertheless, awareness of its presence obligates us to make the effort to shut off the button, reprogram, and reset a new plan of action. We mortals do not have the luxury of automatic fixtures. But if we pursue and acquire the knowledge and the Grace of God, we will have the ingredients that heal our hurt and stop hurting others. 092222PS

Thank you, Vickey. I came across a book about 10 years ago that caused me to tune in better to people and their problems. The book was entitled, Hurt People Hurt People.
