Like Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “I choose love because hate is too great a burden to bear”. I know firsthand the dangers of wrath even when we are clearly being wronged. I would still be homeless to this day if I remained stuck on the cul-de-sacs of getting the last word and proving myself right. I spent a year doing exactly that only to sink further into the abyss of poverty and hopelessness. The picture on the left above was me while I was living in a homeless shelter in Colorado, the picture on the right is what happened when I became grateful and relinquished resentment from my heart.
To that end, to the one who is going out of the way to hurt me, though I am not ready to forgive, I will no longer engage in your antics. There are some battles not worth fighting because the end result is defeat no matter who comes out on top. Just know that you are hurting yourself as much as you are hurting me, ego is preventing you from seeing that but it is not my place to teach you that because that is your journey to walk. As for what was taken from me through chicanery, as much as it pains at my heart, I have faith in an awesome God who will right all wrongs.
