Cowards. Cowards. Ignore me no more.

Have you ever been disregarded? Don't you hate that?I loathe this concept, ignoring others, with ever fiber of my being!Like you have no existence and in public, they act like they don't see you, passing you with a façade of normality. Ignoring others must be rewarding to the people that take the helm of a relationship and steer it into a plummeting water fall. They just set sail to a relational disaster.
Victims will soak in pain, and slowly drown in confusion.I think of the parents that put their children up for adoption. To comprehend the amount of selfishness it takes for one to do that. -Not in all cases- Sometimes there are real legitimate reasoning, however, it's mostly a situation where two young adults caught themselves up in their narcissist indulgences and before they know they have a kid, OOPS, they say, unmarried, ashamed and immature, the Dad leaves. Single, unemployed, hurt, the mother cries and a lonely child is left alone at the doorstep of a bad choice.Orphan. Tragic. Thank God Almighty for delivering these children, and Thank Abba Father whom in their hearts resides "Daddy" Tragic. That's the scene that comes to mind when I think of the cowards that ignore people. The way people can embrace something, yet, let it go…Cowards.It would take a measure of:Competence.Courage.Decency.Maturity.Friendship.Friendship. Isn't that the thing that got us into this mess?Friendship. Isn't that the thing I'm leaving to get me out?Family. Incomparable pain of an eye turned in disdain from ones own blood.Ever heard of these things?Resolve.Character.Integrity.I conversed with a dear friend of mine last night about raw honesty. What it takes to truly be engaged in friendship, to care, and to have concerns for one another.Having disregard someone is a significant insult moreover a statement declaring, supreme apathy in regards to their well being.There is however, a twist.IF you were to be ignoring someone RIGHT NOW. You would be lying if you said you didn't think about that person occasionally. Why is that so?Your ignoring them right?It maybe God's in control.He's saying don't interrupt love and forgiveness. Don't give up.Don't let go. Like the aforementioned selfish parents.Selfishness takes deep, deep root in severing a relationship.Don't get me wrong! There are situations and circumstances where a severance of sorts is needed, and called for.You and I know that's not what I'm talking about.In most cases severing a relationship is not called for. It's just convenient. As for me, I'll take the road less traveled and mark it with bravery, take a step towards change and hope the love I extend is not a transaction, but an exchange.Lying here in the bed, quiet.Wondering who's thinking of me tonight.Will I be a passing thought?Or a deep concern of their heart?Are their prayers connecting? Or could they be saying "God please deliver me?"If I had a choice, the decision is clear.Uniting in warmth is much better than being the individual feared!
