Even now, I have moments of pain and frustration over this reality. And yes, it is mixed with memories of my own loss.<br /><br />That's when I remind myself that Jesus seemed to feel that way too, and got the same sort of response from the people around him.

It seems that if someone suffers at the hands of a leader then they are deemed easily offended, unforgiving, bitter and oversensitive. The leaders however, are seen as the ones who are suffering an attack from the enemy, they must be protected at all costs. I want to join you screaming STOP, but I'm not sure it would be heard.<br /><br />I'm also encouraged to find others here who see it too. And it's encouraging to know that Jesus saw it and called the religious leaders on it when he was here. But I strongly identify with the anger you describe. For me it's mixed with personal pain and loss too, I'm imagining perhaps for you as well.<br /><br />Thanks for writing. xxunbrokenhorizonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17761872334284927163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8780046688666925822.post-28568461474831455802014-12-14T10:38:06.029+11:002014-12-14T10:38:06.029+11:00Thanks A.
