Giving Up!/Abandonando

      If your baby is born with a heart condition, do you just give up and let him die? If your child has diabetes, do you throw your hands in the air and say, "Nope, can't do this!" If your spouse has cancer do you dump her and say, "You are on your own! I did not marry you to have to deal with this!"? With each of these physical problems would you truly give up on them? I mean this is not what you asked for, right? After all, they are not measuring up to your ideal dream baby, child or partner, are they? Would you keep fighting and doing all you can possibly do to help them overcome or even in the end be by their side as they are called from this earth life? There is generally a strong tendency to stick to someone through their physical problems!  We never give up on them!

     Are we as loving, kind and commited when they don't measure up in other ways? What about if your baby seems to learn slower than the average baby? What about if your child begins to have panic attacks? What if your spouse fights depression? These can be mental issues, or personality disorders.  Would you walk away thinking that they will never measure up to what you dreamed of them being? Would you give up on them? Or would you stick to them and help them overcome these issues just as you did the physical ones, even if they never really become your ideal?

     When is it okay to walk away from someone because they do not measure up to what you always wanted them to be? When is it okay to throw in the towel because they aren't the perfect person you wanted them to be? Does God throw in the towel on  His imperfect children? Think about it!

     Si tu bebe nace con problemas del corazón, tu le abandonarías y le dejarías morir? Si tu hijo tiene diabetes, tu exclamarías, "No, no voy a hacer esto!" Si tu esposa tuviese cáncer tu la dejarías diciendo, "Tu lo resuelves solo. Yo no me case contigo por tener que aguantar esto!" Con cada uno de estos problemas físicas, tu los abandonarías? No es lo que querías en tu vida, verdad? No están cumpliendo con tu ideal de un bebe, o nino, o compañero, verdad? Tu seguirías luchando y haciendo todo lo posible por ayudarles superar estas problemas y aun quedarte a su lado sabiendo que iba a morir? En general hay una tendencia a quedarse fiel a alguien con problemas físicas! Nunca les abandonamos!

     Somos iguales de amorosos, carinosos y cometidos cuando  no llegan a nuestro ideal en otras maneras? Que de tu bebe que aprende las cosas mucho mas despacio que normal? O de tu nino que tiene ataques de pánico? O tu esposa que lucha con depresión? Estos son problemas mental o de personalidad. Tu les abandonarías pensando que nunca van a ser lo que tu quieres que sean? Tu los dejarías? O te quedarías a su lado ayudandoles a superar sus problemas si los problemas como hiciste con los problemas físicas, aun cuando nunca van a llegar a tu ideal?

     Cuando esta bien abandonar alguien porque no son como tu siempre has querido que sean? Cuando esta bien a echarlos de tu vida porque no llegaron a ser la persona perfecta que tu querías? Dios abandona Sus hijos imperfectos? Piénsalo!
