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.
