We need to be a kinder, more gentle loving people.

We have each known or read stories of those that are injured or crippled physically to the point where they can no longer function as they once could.  But we don't think or notice as much about those that become emotionally broken.   There are so many stories untold of those we meet and love.  We don't know the details of their childhood or maybe not even those of their adulthood.  We may not hear the stories of their pain as we do from those that are physical suffering from broken bodies in all it's forms from cancer to burns and aching bones.  There are a lot of untold emotional struggles.  I have thought about this a lot.  Sometimes a person becomes emotional injured to the point they cannot even emotionally walk any more. Their hearts are so broken.  But our loving Heavenly Father can help them get up again.  It takes time and effort and pain to get to where they can even move again. First a wheelchair,  still needing to rely on others they can trust.   As time goes, our Father will bless those suffering  with exercises to help build their strength to where they can walk again but may be with just a walker, then crutches and then eventually He will helps them to walk again.  They may not walk the same speed but they can eventually walk as He would have them walk.  He can heal them, but the price must be paid just as if  they were  leaning to physically walk again.   There are not usually any meals, cakes and cookies or get better cards for those suffering emotionally.  But the Lord will put those opportunities in their lives that will help them move where He wants them to move if they are willing to do their part.   

We need to be a kinder, more gentle loving people.  We are all God's children just trying to be and do our best.  Let's do what we can to be patient with one another not knowing their story nor the Lord's plan for them.  Extent love and appreciation to others.  Let's lift with our words and actions.  Find the good and express it!  We can be part of God's plan to help everyone we meet!  Love your neighbor!
