I got this from Roadrunner thru email...and thought I would pass this along to the Aders here.... :D ( I'm sorry that I don't have the link for this )

Have you ever been wrongfully accused, judged, misunderstood, or even harmed?

How did you react? Did you try to defend your actions or justify your motives? Chances are, it didn't do much good did it? People will think whatever they want to think regardless of whatever evidence you present in your defense.

That is why Jesus remained quiet at His trial before the court of public opinion and the religious community. He never tried to explain or justify Himself before His accusers. He committed Himself to the Father in heaven and prayed for His enemies.

I know this is hard for us to do. Our old fleshly nature wants to take control and fight back when we are wronged. But the way of the true disciple of Christ is to keep silent and under the control of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said,

"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven.." - Matt. 5:10-12.

"Jesus knew that if you were a true follower of His, you would enter into this test eventually. It is part of the program...to be wronged, misunderstood, and maligned. When God brings a measured assault against one of His children, it is to find out if he truly believes in the cross. The cross is where each of us is given the opportunity to die to our pride, our reputations, and our ego. He wants to see if we will rescue ourselves. Jesus said if we die with Him, we will be raised with Him...ask God for the grace to cling to the cross. Let the pride and arrogance that Jesus wants to remove from our lives be crucified." - Os Hillman

Is your reputation being assaulted today?

Have you been wrongfully criticized or judged by others - even by those within the church? The best thing you can do is keep silent. Crucify the old flesh. Commit your hurts, wounded pride, and feelings of betrayal to the Lord. Nothing escapes His watchful eye. He knows what's really in your heart and will bring all things into judgment. Every idle and malicious word that is spoken against you will be accounted for.

Rejoice and be exceedingly glad for you are truly a son or daughter of the Most High.

"Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." - Rom. 12:14,17,19

Remember to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, the salvation of the Jewish people, and a great harvest of souls from all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues.

Yours in Christ Jesus,

I got the same email from Roadrunner also ;) I like that also, but it's hard for me because I am usual a person that stand up for myself, when others misunderstood or, justify my motives, judging, criticized and others. But if there are some-body out there that I dislike, I wouldn't waste my breathe on that person to stand up for myself. :mrgreen:


But, I think keeping myself quiet and let them take the bait wouldn't hurt me right? :o
 
Well for this i know...Jesus said that we need to love our enemies....even though our enemies have hurt us, that means we have to forgive people who have hurt us. Even though, we dislike people that have hurt us, we need to forgive them, that way we will feel better. If you keep on hating deep in your souls, it will fester on and it could hurt your health so it will be better for your health and mental well being if you will just forgive that person/persons and go on with your life. I hope you understand what im saying..
 
I cannot stand when people judge me as well...thankfully I don't have too much of a problem with it...I have made it perfectly clear to people that I will say whatever I feel is appropriate, given any situation. Not everyone is going to agree, and I may appear harsh...but bottom line is, only one person can judge me, and that's the man (or woman!) upstairs. :dunno:

I am sorry if I'm off topic...am not sure what this refers to...mmm...but I am assuming this is something you've been feeling lately, ^Angel^? :(

As for forgiveness...I find it very hard to forgive certain things...and so I won't. There are many kinds of people in today's world...and only the remorseful deserve to be forgiven. However it is by choice that they receive it from the ones they have wronged.

Yes, I agree with you, that hate isn't good for us. I forgive those who have hurted me but there a trust that I don't longer have for them. If you understand what I am saying. Heh. It is hard to build up a trust with someone who betrayed, judge, lied about me. But, I find it in my heart to forgive them instead of ending up hating them. ;)

Yes, I do understand you, Cheri..Its best just to forgive them and go on with your own life and if they cant forget and forgive then its THEIR problem, not yours..you will feel better about it since God knows you have done your part. Of course, you cant trust these people ever again..just dont associate with these same people as they are the ones who have problems with their own lives, not yours..unless they change their bad ways. I know you are a good
person so dont let these people get you down ok? :)

Mod Note: (thanks Malfy for bringing up what you stated)

After reading through this thread, I don't see the 'need' for this thread to be in a 'debate forum' when the creator of this thread is simply sharing thoughts and ideas shown through an article and for which I did forwarded this via email. I don't really see the 'need' to debate on this...but if others want to take something 'out' of this article to the point of debating, by all means, go ahead and create another thread and place it in the debate forum. Otherwise, respect the creator of this thread for what this is related to--thank you! ;)

Off Mod-mode:

There have been times when I have been wrongly judged and through these times, I have been able to put my 'faith' in the One above and that has helped me through without having bitterness, anger or remorse--one of the last times I felt wrongly judged or accused of...the duration it took for me to keep sane and trusting in the One above took approximately 5 months, yet, at the end, the results was favorable and astounding...thru the steadfastness I took upon myself relying heavily on faith rather than being emotionally bitter and angry, I was surely overwhelmed with how it all ended...peacefully. :)
 
Good thread here :hug:

I don´t believe to judge/criticized/bitching anyone when there´re no proof or after beleive others´s sides or rumor until they are proof.

It´s sad to see people jump to judging/bitching/accussing others for nothing.

I take nobody´s sides but consider my own decision/opinion either it´s right or wrong. If anyone are agree to disagree with me respectful is welcome because I like to have debate with them until they convince me or I convince them. I would not say that I´m prefect but it´s ME... sometimes the posts convince me.. What´s the forum for... is collect our experiences and share our feedback/experiences/tips...

I´m forgiving person but betrayal is a hugh different.

Betrayal on our friendship is one big and hurtful which it´s very very very hard for people to forgive. It might take a long time to forgive... but the friendship will never same as before. I know what it alike because I had been through out. Betrayal is a horrible word.

Thank you sweetie :hug:

:::back to the topic:::


It is really interesting to see some of your views in this thread which I agree with most of you here....

When I got this email, I started to relized that this is so true, no matter how many times I've stood up for myself on those who wrongful judged me when they don't know me personally, they may read too much between the lines, assuming things or hear things from others but they don't come up to me and ask me if its true instead they believe what others say and quickly judge you or dislike you in a way without any proof whatsoever, no matter how many times I've stood up for myself, it doesn't always turn out the way I was hoping it would...

I admit it does upset me a whole lot when people go behind my back and spread things about me that isn't true when I haven't done anything to this person in the first place....but I learned to forgive those who hurt me, and ignore them as much as I could and I have and will continue to do so cause it not worth it to try to stand up for youself when it's not going anywhere but it does get worse and that when a drama is created...

For those who wrongfully judged me, I no longer trust them and never will, but at least I have forgive them and move on.....

So for now on, if someone judged me or say something about me, I would remained quiet and would not waste my breathe on trying to prove them that this isn't true and let God deal with this Himself!... ;)

I also wanted to thanks most of you for posting your views and feedback which is related to this thread, I enjoy reading what others say on this, which I agree, so Thank you! :grouphug:
 
We will always be misjudged, misunderstood or wrongfully accused in our lives. It is HOW we react that counts. We cant control their opinions or judgements but we can control ourselves.

I used to be passive then became aggressive but now Im assertive now. I only speak up because I want to know I did my part. I dont argue back with them but simply point out facts in a calm way. I want to be able to sleep at nights knowing that I spoke up. Whether they believe me or not, it is up to them but only God and I know the truth.

I agree that forgiving heals but it is not easy to forgive AND forget.
