Have you ever been wrongly accused of something?
Set up?
Have you every had people gang up on you in a sense and all of the sudden...BAM! Major problem with you.
You never saw it coming, you never expected someone would feel that way about you...
It's happened to everyone, we've all been talked about by someone we thought never would..we've all had someone steal something from us...we've all trusted and had our trust burned...we've all been wrongly blamed or accused for something in one way or another.
It's a feeling of the worst kind.
The betrayal and hurt. The broken trust.
Not to mention...How could they feel this way or think of you that way?!
It's not at all how you view yourself. How could they develop that perception of you?
I'm writing this blog as a sort of vent.
I was wrongly accused many a time.
Looking back at how I handled the unwanted blame, I now see how instead of freeing myself from it I let myself be captive to it instead.
How heavy are the burdens and chains we place on others.
The human race is so sinful.
We choose not to blame ourselves for any inadequacies.
Instead we throw the burden onto others.
This is something I have realized recently.
It's why I feel that sometimes the systems that we set up to provide for society are so dysfunctional.
We think we are so elevated in our thinking compared to other species of animals..Yet we will go so low as to slander our neighbor and our friends to feel better about ourselves. We never want to feel pain alone and subconsciously share the burden with others.
What happened to carrying our burden's independently and then giving them to Jesus?
Why would we place our burden's on another helpless person's back?
We demean. We compromise each others characters. We refuse to trust. We refuse to be honest. How elevated of a species is that?! Even lions are honest about their intent to kill.
When have we ever been completely honest, even to ourselves, as to what our intentions behind our actions really are?
There is good news in all of this. That is our characters have been vindicated from all sin and wrong doings by Jesus himself. If it wasn't for Him we'd be even less than preditorial animals. God was wrongly accused. Whenever I am in that type of situation I try to let it help me understand exactly what He felt. The feelings of accusation and betrayal run deeper than many feelings. These two things can override love if there is not a power fighting back.
Thank God for Love. Thank Jesus for allowing himself to be betrayed. Thank goodness that life on this earth is only very temporary.
