Have you ever said something to a stranger only to have it misconstrued and interpreted wrongly? This happen to me this morning, and I’m still quite baffled as to how she took a light-hearted remark as offensive. But the important thing in that moment became for me…was I going to take offense by her unfriendly reply? That’s because it didn’t matter how I felt at the moment, for obviously she had misread and taken my remark personally… and reacting negatively would have just compounded the interaction. Praise God for wisdom, disciple, and self-control as I learn anew day by day… ever looking to Him as my model for forgiveness.
