I don't see how any of this fits into your viewpoint of people caught in unfortunate circumstances automatically are in that circmustance because they or their parents did not do a good enough job measuring up to your idealized mythical standard.
Christ said, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone".
Let that thought be my gift to you for the day.  |
I'm not sure where I said someone is automatically anything.
My message pretty consistently has been that too many folks see were they are as a result of other people actions instead of their own.
Not sure what stone I cast. Don't think encouraging self-honesty is an act of cruelty or aggression.
I'm sure your daughter's life is very hard and a source of great challenge for her, you and those that care for her.
I think if you look at where you interjected her story into this conversation and the manner in which you did so 'opened the door' for a discussion about personal responsibility.
Allow me to share a verse for all of us, "...to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God."
Be well.
