New words for today: church hurt. Oftentimes, this hurt is a deep seeded stigma that rears its ugly head when sore spots are exposed. Perhaps you shared a secret that served as gossip fodder. Maybe you got in an inappropriate relationship and suffered abuse or neglect. Sometimes, you're the outsider trying to break in. You work on a team, but you do the heavy lifting. A viral video displayed a gospel artist "sounding off" on the industry, holding folks accountable for her career and the choices she made. Cursing, smoking, and drinking are her signature tricks and she publicly displays this behavior. But why such venom? Such vitriol? It's easy to see how hurt she is. Are you acting up in a similar fashion? Hurt people hurt people. Its perpetually in motion, drawing people in so they can slide down that slope. Don't stoop to their level. Be the better person. When they go low, you go high. Maintain who you are and always seek higher ground. When you don't sink, it will force others to lift themselves up. Be the catalyst. Be the change. Level up to the purple life. Join me on the journey as we move on up a little higher. Thanks for stopping by. Take Care and God Bless!!!
