Perhaps you have heard the phrase, “Hurting people hurt people.” It is, I feel, a necessary reminder for every Christian. As we walk in the world and come face-to-face with its hurting people, we need to remember that their hateful words and angry actions come from a hurting heart, a heart that does not know the love and peace of Christ. When we look at people with eyes like Christ’s—eyes that see past the exterior—we will be motivated to pray for them and to reach out with God’s love.
