Were We Wronged or Righted?

When someone wrongs us, have we been wronged?

Or can we dig a little deeper and see how we have actually been “righted”?

1 Cor. 4,5 teaches that “Love, (the God kind of love that now resides inside of us) *parentheses mine* is longsuffering and kind (wow, that’s a challenge to still be kind while you’ve been suffering long) and that it keeps no record or account of being wronged (wow, another tough one) and verse 8 “Love never fails” which to me means that love always wins.

Why does it win? Because I think God designed it this way, even though it doesn’t seem mutually beneficial to take the “high road,” it benefits the offender because it allows them the opportunity to be taught by the Lord Himself (either now or in the future when a similar situation presents itself, thank God for second, third, and twentieth chances to grow and get our hearts and actions right) and it allows us to experience a greater capacity to hold His love in us, which feels so good and the healthiest.

We know that God promises to work ALL THINGS together for our good, so that means everything we go through can become our teacher in the meantime.

Our ego (or the enemy) wants to try to convince us that we’ve been wronged so that we will remain in a victim mentality.

It likes to pretend it’s “protecting us,” but is it?

When in reality, TRUE FREEDOM means being able to feel any disrespect or betrayal of others without holding it against them.

Because like one of my favorite coaches says, “People are gonna people” and it’s one of the truest things you can count on in life.

And when they are out there on the streets “peopling” and they do something that stings, the faster we can recover from it (allow all the feels, process through it, and release it, because if it keeps coming back around we still have more processing to do) the faster our LOVE MUSCLES can grow!

As cliché as it sounds, hurt people really do hurt people, until they learn not to, and your response to them may just be one more building block in their needed growth (and yours!)

It doesn’t mean we don’t put boundaries in place if they are needed in the future, but it does mean that people are not able to hurt us, because while they may have done something hurtful one time, we hurt ourselves with the memory of it turning over and over again in our own minds. Whereas, they most likely have moved on and never given it another thought.

I’m not saying I am perfect at any of this, but I have learned some tools, and it definitely feels so much better to know that no one can ever hurt my feelings again…they are MY feelings after all.
