Life has a way to remind us, our problems aren’t that bad compared to others. I do think many people have mental flaws. Mental flaws are flaws that really come to a person who has a problem within their mind. We don’t understand why some people have mental problems but in my life I have seen people with a mental issue yet they are able to do things which I couldn’t imagine. Mental illness comes in many forms but today it deals with all except eating disorders.
Here is a story of what happened to me with this one lady, who had a mental condition. The mental condition I can’t recall how it all happened, but she was unstable at times. She could be said to have all of those things going on here but one thing I didn’t notice was the way she was eating.
This lady with this mental issue helped me to learn the value of life. First she realized her problem and was seeking help at the time I met her. She also wanted to see her daughter, but because of her condition, her ex husband didn’t want her near the child
From what I noticed from her she went through some trauma, which could trigger her mental condition. When she wasn’t in that confused state she was able to cope like a normal person. That is what really got me looking at mental illness within a person.
A person could be born with a mental disorder. Others could have a situation in life that mental illness was a result of the situation. Many things in life can cause people to flip out.
From this lady I learned how she looked beyond her flaws. She was seeking help, doing things a normal person could do. With this mental illness it left her homeless and people were afraid of her.
We who are believers in Christ need to know and understand compassion for each other. With this lady there was a connection with her that I could put my finger around. I first saw her as a human being, then I saw the flaw. Even with her flaw I wanted to try to help her out in a way that she could know and understand somebody was with her.
Have we forgotten to help others with flaws. People are reaching out to others but some seem to walk them by. They walk by them because of their mental illness that could have happened from anything in life.
To conclude many people are out there with mental issues, but are able to function in life. They look beyond their imperfection and understand they can make it. What I have learned is that people also wait too late, their mental illness goes beyond the limit, now they need to be hospitalized for their flaws.
The truth is, love on each other. Be kind to one another. The next person that could have a mental breakdown could be you. Learn and see the value of life. Use your judgement, all people with a mental issue don’t want to get help. Still pray for that person. Just one day he or she could have a breakthrough and God could change it around.
Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
Romans 15:7 KJV
From this we can say since Christ received us in our flaws and imperfection we need to do the same for others. Not just mental, physical, but also spiritual. Tomorrow it’s about healing from your flaws because of religious hurt.
