OUCH!

So this one time... I was just having a casual conversation with a good friend. It was a good one too! Ya know, stuff like our accomplishments and things that made us happy. And then all of a sudden, out of nowhere -

She throws out this totally degrading stab directly at me! I couldn't believe it!

You know what I wanted to do? Totally tell her off. Say something like "Are you kidding me right now!?"

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" 

I even spent a good 5 minutes trying to come up with the best way to make her feel as crappy as possible.

But then, I thought about it a little more.

"As we pass through the trials of life, let us keep an eternal perspective, let us not complain, let us become even more prayerful, let us serve others, and let us forgive one another. As we do this, 'all things [will] work together for good to [us] that love God"

 (Romans 8:28).

Heavenly Father corrected me immediately. Not only did He whisper to my heart that it wasn't worth it, but He took away the hurt. Quick as that!

Its not worth it. My friend didn't even know what she had said was painful to me, and God took it away. So, that's the end of it!
