Recently I had someone close whom I love dearly, revealed through others as a cutter.
Wow!
I instantly knew it is usually something traumatic that triggers this in people.
Jesus Christ took lashes cutting into his flesh for the love of us. Why would someone cut their self?
Not having the true love of Christ. Being surrounded by this emotion only peaceful love can give is diffuclt to find for some when your are scarred by the cuts in life.
I want to rescue this person and heal all the boo boo's and shake her. But,that is not what is required from me. I must sit silently. I am a fixer not a sitter!!
I so want to grab this person and hold them, but again all I can do is sit on it, awaitng the power of my God to intervene. I know he is working already because it is out 'the cutter revealed".
I see in my own life times where I was not actually known as the cutter, but in true reality I was this person in many ways.
We all think I would never do that but what you done that is self destructive.
An unevenly yoked marriage
A child born out of wedlock
A poor manager of your finances
A parent whom is so self absorbed
Cutting is not the only self destructive behavior and yet others are so quick to say "My child would never do that".
I pray that my God give me wisdom to help in some way and compassion to forgive the trauma of events that has caused this perosn I love, pain.
