"Hurt people hurt people"? Spare me. I've been wounded more times than I can count and not once did I take that pain and strike another soul with it. I carried it to the Cross. Hurt people don't hurt people. Godless people do. People with no reverence for God, no conviction, no fear of the Lord. People who refuse accountability, who silence the Spirit, who have surrendered their hearts to darkness and call it "protection." They are traitors of covenant, stewards of chaos, and vessels of destruction. Pain doesn't make someone cruel. The absence of God does. "The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them; but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming." —Psalm 37:12-13
