Father,
Did you see what he did and said about me? He was full of accusation and spite. Does it matter that I did everything to make it right and to remain objective? Persecution seems to follow me and hides behind every corner. Is this what our sinful nature makes of us? For I was technically a part of the crowd that condemned you and crucified your Son.
What did Jesus do?.....He prayed for them and made a way for them to escape eternal damnation. But that was Him and this is me. This guy wronged me and discredited my name. I can't just let him get away with it, can I?....
OK, this heart of stone I submit under the workings of the cross, trusting You will make it a heart of flesh...sensitive to my brother's current condition.
I imagine through this somehow my heart will connect with Your heart, just as Jesus' did.
I realize this isn't taking the high road....It is, in fact, a low road paved with the discomfort of self-sacrifice and self-denial! It isn't comfortable or convenient, but through Your infinite graces, I know it leads to the BEST destination.
Vindication belongs to You, my Father, who takes great care of his kids.
-Amen
