I have taken verbal criticism about my self and others for so long, that I finally decided to start speaking up for what I was feeling with the hopes that they, who handed out the criticism with expectations of my taking it to heart and adjusting who I was or accepting what they said, would do the same with what I shared with them. But instead they continued to only think about their own selves and how what I do affects them. Now they don't speak to me anymore because I hurt them by sharing my thoughts with them. Anytime I tried to explain myself they interrupted me and never let me finish my thought or statement, so they really don't know what I was saying in the first place, nor are they willing to discuss it with me so they can find forgiveness in their hearts. I have been hurt deeply by these people, yet I always let it be for the sake of our relationship. I don't know why they can't do the same. Please pray for their hearts (and mine) to be healed and their minds be opened to understand and see the way their actions have hurt me and others as well. I love these people deeply but they won't even answer my calls or emails or anything for me to share my sorrow. Pray God guides me in my actions to know what is His will to do. Thank you for your prayers! May God bless all of you.
