We all have them. Some we recognize, some we don’t. Some are positive and optimistic, like “always assume the best in people.” Others are negative & formed from disappointments, like “I’ll get excited when it happens.” And some were formed before we knew what to call them, like rejection & the fear of being misunderstood. Those happen to be mine & I only know that cause I was willing to ask God what it was.
Due to a misunderstanding a while back with an acquaintance, I went to God & said,
“I really thought I responded well, so why is it ending with them being hurt?”
God, in His gracious, Fatherly way answered,
“If you have to justify yourself, you’re responding through fear of rejection & being misunderstood.”
