I sat across from a man currently spending some time in jail, but I realized he has been a prisoner for most of his life. He was a victim of abuse from the age of 5 on, a prisoner in his home. He sought freedom through drug use, which of course became it's own prison. Now he sat in literal prison, now seeking the only one who can set him free: Jesus. As I listened to his heart, I heard so much hurt - and I couldn't help but to sympathize with this poor man. Well...hurt people - they hurt. Do we just focus in on the hurt they cause others, or do we try and get to the root of the issue and address their own hurt? Christ saw people as broken, and it moved him to treat them with compassion which led to their repentance. Do we have that same attitude?
