Your Question:

What did my family member do to me?

Answer:

As I reflect on my own family dynamics, I realize that I've never experienced the kind of hurt or estrangement described in the passage. My wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and we've always made an effort to communicate openly and honestly with each other. We've had our disagreements, of course, but we've never resorted to the silent treatment or allowed our differences to create a major breach in our relationship.

In fact, I've often seen Susan demonstrate the kind of love and forgiveness described in the passage. When our children were young, she was always willing to listen to them and offer guidance, even when they were being stubborn or disobedient. And when I've made mistakes or hurt her feelings, she's always been willing to talk things through and work towards a resolution.

As a pastor, I've also seen the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation in families. I've counseled many families who are struggling with hurt and anger, and I've seen how forgiveness can bring healing and restoration. I'm grateful for the example of my own family, and I strive to model the kind of love and forgiveness that Susan and I have for each other.
