People in my Life

I have met so many people in the course of my life, and do not regret having met each and every one. Those who have hurt me helped me to grow in love and to experience forgiveness.  Those who have failed me showed me that I can trust no one but God, because even when the best intentions are present, we’re still human and will eventually fail.  Those whom I’ve hurt and failed have showed me that I should never point fingers, because one day I might be the one needing forgiveness and mercy.  I have found myself in moments when others have looked up to me as a leader, and also experienced (often) how others help me up and cheer me on when I’m dragging.  I am thankful for those who mentored me and shared what they knew, for those who pray for me to stay strong, for those who have been there to share my burdens and those who have given me chance after chance even after realizing I’m no better human than they are.  I pray that at least one person will benefit from any knowledge I can share with them, from the lyrics of a song that will speak to their heart, from a message heard through radio, video, blog or pulpit, and even from my mistakes...that hopefully will help us learn what not do or how not to do it.  Every person that God has placed in my life has been a blessing in one way or another, and I only they knew what I know...that each have a place that no one else can fill.
