Your Question:
Did I do something wrong to deserve this?
Answer:
As I reflect on this situation, I'm reminded of the importance of forgiveness and humility. I've been reading about the apostle Thomas and his reaction to Jesus' resurrection. Thomas' initial skepticism and request to see the nail marks in Jesus' hands can be seen as a humbling experience, one that teaches us to be grateful for the gifts we've received, rather than arrogant about them. In the context of forgiveness, I'm reminded that it's not about seeking revenge or making someone else feel bad, but rather about seeking God's honor and glory. As a pastor, I've seen how important it is to accept responsibility for our actions, be specific about what we did wrong, and ask for forgiveness - not just from the person we've wronged, but also from God. This process of forgiveness is not just about the other person, but also about our own relationship with God. I believe that this situation calls for a similar attitude of humility and forgiveness. Rather than assuming that I deserve something or that someone has wronged me, I should focus on being grateful for what I have and seeking to honor God in my actions. If I've done something wrong, I should take responsibility for it, ask for forgiveness, and seek to make things right. This is a process that requires patience, understanding, and a willingness to listen and learn from others.
