It Hurts Daddy. Can you fix it?

As I was reading the latest post on To the Ends of the Earth came to mind that people are much like these dogs. They have "fleas" aka issues, have been sitting in their own "urine and feces" aka sins and even 'bite' hurt each other. And yet we are called to love them. No matter how wretched they are. We were all wretched but for the grace of God. We always need HIS eyes to see, HIS ears to hear and HIS heart to love. HE is always asking us to do things that make us cringe and sometimes want to puke but like you say in your post (Paula will not put you in danger) HE will not ask us to do something that will ultimately kill us (our flesh yes, our pride yes, our reputation, could be) but to live is Christ and to die to self is gain right?

So many things have been happening in the lives of those I dearly love lately my heart breaks for them. It is true when one member of the body hurts the whole body hurts. Its a reminder to me that but for the grace of God it could be me. And I daily need to lift up my loved ones to Papa God and let HIM care for their wounds. As much as I hurt for them HE hurts more, but HE can heal and restore.
