No Band-Aids...No Long Sleeve Shirts.
I've been reading "Irregular People". It's about those who hurt us so deeply by what they do--or don't do--say--or don't say, etc. Those whom we feel we should be close to, but seem so insensitive to us as people--the "red-headed step-children" of their lives.
The author clarifies with examples what she means by irregular people and the ways they hurt us. She bares her soul, recounting the natural and spiritual progression she has gone through to be where she is now. She prayed for a heart to be obedient to God's voice--to 'want' to do what He had asked her. To forgive and to love, not out of her own strength, but out of His. And to follow His strategy in getting there. No counting the days or the time in any way; allow God to work His miracles in His time and His way if she just stayed obedient.
She is a wounded warrior. But the thing is, WE ALL ARE!! She has allowed God to be her strength. So she can walk transparently and not fear the faces of people because God is, and has been, her strength. Remember when Jesus met with His disciples after His resurrection; He said "See my hands and feet [the wounds], it is I". We can be like Him if we will only allow the Father to be completely ALL that He desires in us and through us and for us.
