As I was getting ready for the day, I felt my mind wandering and decided to focus on the most recent scenario in which I was emotionally affected by the attitude of an extended family member toward me.
I didn’t tell anyone about this or how I felt, I suppose everything was bottled up inside. I knew I wasn’t meant to be treated like that, but this time was different. When my inner self began whining and rationalizing the situation, I could plainly hear the message: „Look up, child; God is with you.”
It seemed like the entire weight of this situation was lifted off my shoulders, and I could breathe again. I was reminded that we are not expected to like everyone in this life and that certain people come with a set of lessons.
The persons connected are not aware, yet thanks to them I have grown closer to God and started my healing journey. The wounds they produced hurt a lot, and there were moments when I grieved, yearning for things to change and for their hearts to be in the right place.
It turns out that was unnecessary. Even without their support, I changed for the better, and every misstep on their end was a terrible but necessary kick in the rear that I needed. Now they say they like and accept me into their circle, but I feel it’s not genuine.
And that’s okay because I don’t have to conform to their angular perspective of life or people; I just need to be myself. And if I am nice and fun, and choose to answer with gifts rather than insults, I have made the right choice and am on my way to fulfilling my life purpose, with God along the way supporting me.
