Sometimes you can feel so alone and nobody cares. Nobody understands you, what you’ve been through, how difficult it’s been. It’s not that people don’t care or don’t want to help you. They don’t know how, what to say, what to do, how to help. You’re right they don’t understand and can’t possibly know what you’ve been through. They don’t have the experience, insight or wisdom to give you the words you need to hear. They’re barely keeping their own lives together, have their own problems to deal with, their emotional, social, intellectual and psychological limitations are already at capacity with their own lives. And they’re also just looking for a place to find refuge, because they’re feeling alone, like nobody cares, nobody understands them, what they’ve been through and how difficult it’s been. They just need some grace and understanding, the kind that we’re looking for.
Sometimes the grace and understanding needed is the grace that needs to be given. That’s how we bring grace into existence, and what you give will come back to you.
