The Shark Syndrome - #6454
Here's a good prayer for today, "Dear Lord, help me. Teach me to be an over-looker." Don't add up the hurts and the wounds and pounce on them. Let it go! Who needs any more sharks anyway? Swim on by.

Wounds - a Christian perspective
Proverbs tells us that we can trust wounds that we receive from friends. Sometimes the truth or protection hurts. Enemies, on the other hand, will kiss (flatter) us endlessly.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Wound is the Battle - #4293
If you can win the battle by cleansing the wound right away, then they can win the war by heading off the infection. It's a strategy more of us should be using to prevent the kind of spiritual infection that poisons your joy, your peace, and your closeness to God. The wound is any point in your life where sin has been able to get in - it's that first detour from what you know is right. The infection is the widespread loss of spiritual health and power that damages so much we care about, and it can be prevented by a prompt cleansing. A cleansing that goes deep ... and there is such a cleansing.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Wound Underneath - #3833
That father's hard-to-explain behavior is because of some of the battles in his past. He's not the only one. It may be some past battles that help explain what's behind the actions and attitudes of someone you're having a hard time dealing with.
Jesus, of course, knew that - and He had the wonderful ability to look beyond the deeds of a person to their needs. It's an outlook He wants you and me to have, too.
