Offenses
Current mood: contemplative
Category: Life
This morning as I was getting ready, my mind wandered to those who have talked bad about my family to others. My mind wasn't filled with resentment (like it has been in the past), but was filled with sadness and disappointment. I wished things didn't end the way they did, that they wouldn't have allowed their offenses to take over. I no longer get angry at their rude comments about my family, I am actually sad for them. I miss them, all of them. I thought about the times I've been hurt and offended, what was the first thing I did? I went and told as many people as I could to feel more at ease with my offense, to feel that more people agreed with my frustration. How can I hold that against them? I have done it. As my mind mulled over the situations, I was wondering what I should do... And it hit me; I am doing what I should do... love them. I wouldn't miss them if I didn't love them. I wouldn't be saddened at their loss if I didn't love them. I wouldn't want the relationship to be restored if I didn't love them. So I leave this message to those that have been offended by either me or my family: I love you guys (though you may have a hard time believing it) and I pray that God will heal the wounds and bring restoration to all involved.
