When we choose to believe in and hope for the best in people, [even those who have acted in darkness and through whom we have been hurt many times] we are not being naïve or going “out on a limb” of vulnerability, as long as our hearts and minds are guarded by the Love and Wisdom of Christ. He commands us not only to Love [of course!] but also to NOT “cast your pearls before the swine.” Jesus is by no means an “enabler” or anybody’s “whipping post”; but He is also not hiding in fear from the vulnerability that True Love [agape, as some describe it] takes us into. And in all environments, we are eternally and infinitely safe in His Love.
