God does not shun anyone.
People are the creators of shunning.
People cast judgment out of entitlement.
People cast judgment without enquiry.
People cast judgment to make themselves feel the better person.
I strive everyday to be inclusive. But, I am human, and feel the bite of hate and feel cornered just like anyone.
I often pray for a thicker skin, but maybe I should be praying for the opposite. Because then I would not be the sensitive person I am and my kids would have been raised around someone colder, someone with a thick skin, and an I don’t care attitude. They would be raised without knowing how to love and be compassionate.
I guess I will just have to carry this cross for ever, this burden of pain and fear or not being accepted for who I am, of licking my wounds because I allow what people think to bother me. My cross,my life.
