People "coming out", people being bullied, people with low self-esteem, corruption in government, corruption in churches...we need to exude understanding and pity for those in need. I don't agree with what l see in this "hopeless" society, but l have tried to reach out to those who are self-depracated. I don't think we should yield to all our inner feelings, but practice discipline. I have suffered cruel injustice and betrayal. But l refuse to let others pull me down. The poor souls in this generation refuse to "take up" their cross and follow Him who said, "Come to Me, all who are heavy hearted, and l will give you rest"...mental & physical.
