As I was unpacking from a weekend with the youth from church (more about that later) I came across some pictures. I have watched 3 people I love become estranged from each other.
So much has changed for them in the last year. It breaks my heart. Why are they estranged? I honestly don't know. I know some things changed, but the people didn't change. They didn't change who they were, what they believed. Was I wrong? Did I misunderstand their hearts? All I see now is:
- Jealousy
- Anger
- Resentment
- Bitterness
- Hatefulness
- Judgment
I have only heard one side of the story, but I heard that from multiple people. Hateful things were said about one of the three. No one seems to know why. We all know what circumstances changed, but why did their relationship have to change? Why would someone that said they loved another suddenly say mean things about them?
Why do we hate? Why are we angry? We do we treat people badly?
