When a person has been hurt, and used and abused they will go into survival mode and one way to protect themselves from being hurt is being aggressive and mean.
If they are aggressive and mean they will keep you at a distance and you will never have a chance to hurt them, not that you have hurt them, I just mean no one ever will hurt them.
But if you do not give up on them and battle with them through that thick wall of protection, you will see little glimpses of hope everyday that God will show you.
It may be a tear, a small smile, or something uniquely just for you that you would have to say "oh yea that was God"
Love them through their pain and you will see them break through with Jesus guiding them through you.
To me I think the greatest joy in life is to be used to give some one else a chance of life and not death.
Love them to Jesus!
