False Judgements can Lead to Embarassment!

If you have ever been wrongly judged you will be able to understand this frustrating dilemma. When family members or close friends observe something you said or did interpreting it the way they wish to believe about you, without coming to you to discuss it, while treating you disrespectfully because of what they have convinced themselves about you, you are left feeling frustrated, not knowing why they have been treating you with contempt. 

When you go to the person to clear things up by asking; "is something wrong", they glibly respond by saying, even in a rude manner, "nothing is wrong", you know they do not want to clear it up, they like what they believe. 

The only recourse is to pray for them and keep your distance until the Lord makes it clear you are to have contact with them. We must keep in mind that we are not called to be friends with everyone, but we are called to treat everyone respectfully no matter how they treat us. 

However, we are free to remove ourselves from people who enjoy their false beliefs about us. May the Lord give us great discernment in all our relationships so that we can honor God in every circumstance.
