The best one can do is pray for the individuals who neglect or abuse us and move on. As difficult as it may be to accept it&#8217;s as simple as that to put it lightly. No matter how the world may deprive itself to fail &amp; recognize your value the truth is that Lord sees the worth of his precious ones and remembers the cause of their sufferings, their infirmity to their struggle &amp; the stumbling block to their fall.<\/p>\n<p>Be grateful for\u00a0all things child including those who reject, abandon &amp; betrayed you as they evade the virtues of loyalty &amp; honor only to refuse or displace their own blessing. Loneliness &amp; heartbreak they are only temporary states of anguish that are capable of leaving us damaged permanently, build to make us stronger or touch our callous cores to make us vulnerable so that we might then understand empathy as well as know compassion.<\/p>\n<p>Life very often is a diversion from how we&#8217;re supposed to actually be living it &amp; many times it&#8217;s easy to become heedless from what&#8217;s most important. Why is it that we are so willing to worry, so swift to crumble under pressure &amp; so anxious to perish? Often we can be so entangled in our affliction we become too oblivious to focus on the gifts put right before us. Love first always &amp; love will always find a way. Those who have cried with us will be those who smile with us &amp; though I wish no harm &amp; ask the Lord no evil be done to those who laugh at us they too shall also receive full measure recompense of sorrows due.<\/p>\n<p>2 Corinthians 2:1-4\u00a0<span id=\"en-NIV-28826\" class=\"text 2Cor-2-1\" style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><sup class=\"versenum mid-paragraph\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\">1\u00a0<\/sup>So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/span><span id=\"en-NIV-28827\" class=\"text 2Cor-2-2\" style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><sup class=\"versenum\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\">2\u00a0<\/sup>For if I grieve you,\u00a0who is left to make me glad but you whom I have grieved?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/span><span id=\"en-NIV-28828\" class=\"text 2Cor-2-3\" style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><sup class=\"versenum\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\">3\u00a0<\/sup>I wrote as I did,\u00a0so that when I came I would not be distressed\u00a0by those who should have made me rejoice.
