That's great because you never know just how God makes things turn out for your own good. Today, I had a talk with a very wise woman of God. A woman who used to babysit my 2 older boys back in the day. The sweetest woman. We lost contact when I moved back to Baltimore and a few years ago, my husband and I ran into her during the holidays. Since then, we've kept in contact. My youngest son & I even visited her church this past Sunday and had an amazing time! We talked about a few things and of course God! He is always in the midst. She touched on something that made me recall back to two women in my life whom hadn't gone through a particular situation. (Two different situations) These women lived in different states and were very close to me. These women, "thought" they were in the right at the time that "they" said some things,wrote some letters that they shouldn't have, all to me. lol. One woman wrote a letter that I actually never received. It was intercepted by someone else, who refused to give it to me because it was so nasty and hateful. I didn't put up a fight because I was already dealing with an unhealthy relationship at that time, (abuse) and could care less. Still to this day, I have no idea what was written to me, just to injure my soul. Now this 1st lady, came to me about 2 years later with a sincere and remorseful heart, apologizing for her behavior. She explained that she now knew what it felt like to be in my shoes. She couldn't apologize enough for the letter she thought I got, and also for bad mouthing me to a few other people. In fact, the person who intercepted the letter, had initially taken this 1st woman's side ,NOT knowing ALL of the facts to a particular matter. She soon learned and she too apologized repeatedly for believing the other person in the first place. She didn't have the facts! Now this second person, a dear friend to my heart. She couldn't see what I saw because she was too close. I told her what was going on all along. She thought I was wrong. We distanced ourselves. A few years later, she saw me at a restaurant, and apologized and told me I was right about "certain people" who was in her circle and meant her no good although she thought that they were totally fine. Afterall, they were her "friends" and had her best interest at heart. (Male and female) I forgave them. I thought it took courage for them to realize that right is right and wrong is wrong. True ,we all need to grow in areas, and face realities about ourselves. There's always work to be done until we go to our Heavenly home. But for now, Don't point fingers, badmouth,putdown or intentionly hurt someone that you don't know personally. Don't hurt anyone even if you do know them personally. It's not right. Atleast know the facts if it's that serious to you. Keep in mind that was goes around,really does come back around. I'm not sure why some people don't get this. I've seen it happen to people time and time again.It's amazing how people change their views on things when it finally happens to "them."
Food for thought:
God sees all & knows all. : )
So in the end, it ALL comes out in the wash.
Trust God to do some cleaning, and it will be in your best interest.
Again, he really does work in mysterious ways.
