And you are OUT!!!! We all know the saying. Yet, we all try and apply new meaning to this baseball rule. Yet I have yet to see anyone stick to it. I am relieved too, what if I was only given three chances: with God, my relationships, as a parent, a friend, an employee? In some areas I would be absolutely fine but in others not so much. Why? Because I am HUMAN!!!!
Many have said I am too nice, too forgiving, perhaps too naive. I don't agree...I think I just truly feel for someone who has made mistakes because I have made mistakes. I know what it's like to mess up...to really hurt someone and the hurt it caused me. It has stayed with me...the memory never goes away. I know what it's like to beat yourself up...and then to have everyone else do it too. I never care to participate in that sort of behavior...I have enough on my own plate to not be involved in somebody else's. My only reaction is to love on someone who is hurting...not that I condone what they did, or support it...it's just that I refuse to define a person by an action. I try to only see the person...the person I know...the person they are. My prayer is that the world sees me too...not my mistakes.
I haven't been in a position where I have felt I may be the topic of discussion in quite some time, but here I am in that place in life where you may be questioning "what happened? Who did what? Why? Etc." but the reality is...nothing happened...just life. Life has ups and life has downs and thank goodness for me...God has a way of shining his loving light in the darkest of hours. He can take the hardest time in your life and bless you with triumph.
I write this to say...I would t judge your trials and so please don't attempt to judge mine. Let's not put numbers on people and how many chances they get in our lives or their own. Let's just live our lives and love our loves and enjoy the journey...not add turmoil to someone's story...just be and let be.
