The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 13:5, "Love is not rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable or touchy. Love," notice, "does not hold grudges." Circle the word grudges. That's interesting that rudeness and holding a grudge are in the same sentence because that's why people are rude. You know this, right? Rude people are simply reacting to past hurts. The only reason anybody's rude is because they're holding on to a past hurt, and, and when they're, when they're reacting to a past hurt, they can't relate to the present, and they certainly can't respond to the future. They're stuck in the past. Rude people are stuck in the past, and they're letting past hurts continue to hold, uh, hold them hostage. And other people, and then they come and take it out on you. That's not fair. So, as I said, hurt people hurt people. I want you to hear Rebecca's story. Give her a warm welcome.
