We must love them - 2

We must love them
the addicted, the hurting,
those broken, aching,
as Christ loves us.
 
We must not judge
because we are not
their judge, God is;
we must forgive them.
 
we must pray for them
and support them
in their recovery efforts;
and we must pray for
their loved ones as well.

in response to post on Cristy Tremblay’s page
“Those drug addicts you are judging are not just some junkies
and losers who deserve to die. They’re actually some good people
with good hearts who made some bad decisions as we all do. So if
you cant help them, dont hurt them. Pray for them! 3amthoughts”
