I may be totally off on this, but Ive thought a lot lately about the labels (diagnoses) that man puts on one another…for example; PPD – Paranoid Personality Disorder, SzPD – Schizoid Personality Disorder, StPD – Schizotypal Personality Disorder, ASPD – Antisocial Personality Disorder, BPD – Borderline Personality Disorder, HPD – Histrionic Personality Disorder, NPD – Narcissistic Personality Disorder, AvPD – Avoidant Personality Disorder, DPD – Dependent Personality Disorder, OCPD – Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, PAPD – Passive-Aggressive Personality Disorder. What if we could look below the surface of every diagnoses and look at the heart….remembering the original design of each one of us….made in his image, Love, hand knit, included, the treasure that the man buried and joyfully sold everything he owned to buy the field…. Maybe as we begin to understand this truth in ourselves we will be able to look beyond the diagnoses and even recognize the behavior as a symptom of a deeply wounded person and NOT what defines that person. Maybe we can look and see a son or daughter, a brother or a sister who simply has been fed a bunch of lies their entire lives, maybe bullied, neglected, severely abused themselves who has been so wounded that they are simply surviving….living out of the lies they believe. And MAYBE….MAYBE….. LOVE is the medication they need to be healed. Maybe LOVE really does overcome a multitude of lies we have all believed. Maybe LOVE really does awaken LOVE’S design. Maybe as these deeply wounded people begin to experience LOVE for the first time in their lives they will begin to see their own identity….they will begin to understand who THEY ARE and the “PPD or “NPD” or “BPD” could be replaced in their own understanding with “SON” in whom God is well pleased? And MAYBE….MAYBE this awareness/revelation will bring such GREAT JOY….maybe for the first time in their life…. And JOY….and laughter….we KNOW that heals our bodies and our minds…. I know this seems very simplistic…and believe me, I know what it feels like to be on the other end of such destructive behavior, but as I understand LOVE more and I understand who I AM more…Im starting to see things with a different and hopeful eye. I tend to be one of those people that thinks that LOVE just might be bigger than we realize, and LOVE just may really overcome a multitude of lies…..I so want this….. LOVE always, always, always WINS.
