I immediately had tears in my eyes as soon as he said those words to me. Furthermore an older lady had jumped on the bandwagon and cursed me further with hurtful words that pierced my heart. This continued throughout the night. Thank God it was closing time. As soon as I got into the car I burst out in tears. Have you ever had someone say something really mean to you and it wasn't even your fault? Especially when they are in a higher position than you at work and you can't really talk back except for telling them the truth as it is respectfully with regards to their accusation. And even still they do not retract their harshness but only despite me. I am not sure why they behaved towards me in this manner because the God who sees all know that I did my best, and I do not mind correction but this was quite harsh. I do not wish to waste my time and analyze everything or dwell upon it for hours and days like I used to. As I drove home I knew that I had to forgive them right away for the hurt they have caused me. I asked God to help me forgive them. I praised Him through the trial in my car as I sang to the songs of the worship CD. I felt peace and joy deep inside my spirit.
Then when I got home, I was alone. No one was there to comfort me but I know His Spirit was there to comfort me indeed. Then my mom came home and as I was telling her what happened I couldn't help but burst into tears again. She was angry for me and said that the dude in charge has a widely known reputation for his behavior. Then she gave me a hug. My sister also came from work and together we discussed things for a little while. Then we all sat around the living room and even our cat came to join and sit with us. She was unusually cute and adorable today and in a strange way God used the cat to bring me joy! I am also glad that God gave me my sister and mother to comfort and encourage me. I prayed for him again this morning and asked God to soften his heart towards me and to find favor in his sight. I have been in certain situations before, where they would hate me without a cause but all I know is God will give me justice. In the past, God has even softened the hearts of my enemies so I know He will do it again. I place my trust and hope in God and I seek Him always.
