Many times people don’t recognize the value in certain people simply because humans are prone to look at the outside. They may look at someone and see an absolute mess, not realizing that God has the power to completely change a life.
Do people who grew up differently or have hard things they are working through ever get to where they want to be? Do they grow out of the stage they are in and live a life without the stench of the past weighing them down?
I say that yes, they do. They learn to dream again. They learn to love again. They learn to love themselves better than they ever have. They learn to take up new callings and destinies. They learn to overcome evil with good. They learn to use the stones thrown at them from the past and step on them to come to a higher level.
