ON OUR BEHALF:

~

It is so easy to come to the defense of others. How clear it is when
others are being used, controlled, manipulated, or abused, It is so
easy to fight their battles, become righteously indignant, rally to
their aid, and spur them on to victory.

"You have rights," we tell them. "And those rights are being
violated. Stand up for yourself, without guilt."

Why is it so hard, then, for us to rally to our own behalf? Why can't
we see when we are being used, victimized, lied to, manipulated, or
otherwise violated? Why is it so difficult for us to stand up for
ourselves?

There are times in life when we can walk a gentle, loving path. There
are times, however, when we need to stand up for ourselves – when
walking the gentle, loving path puts us deeper into the hands of those
who could mistreat us.

Some days, the lesson we're to be learning and practicing is one of
setting boundaries. Some days, the lesson we're learning is that of
fighting for ourselves and our own rights.
