I had lots of hurt and lots of pain, lots of woundedness, bruises, broken heartedness in my life. I was abused sexually by my father, abused mentally, emotionally.

And I can guarantee you, just because you don't deal with something, that doesn't make it go away.

One of the best ways to walk in love is to be a blessing to other people or simply to help them.
