“Wounds caused by our own people aren’t the same as the wounds of an enemy. We can’t chalk them up to random acts of unkindness. They’re personal.They are inflicted by people who know us, by people we believed have loved us or at least thought kindly of us. When it is not just our people but God’s people, the wound can gape wide open into a maelstrom of confusion.
Alienation.
Isolation.
Shame.”
-Beth Moore
(in the Forward to Wounded by God’s People by Anne Graham Lotz)
