So typically, in the past when someone "mistreats" me I try to remind myself that - because God is sovereign - whoever mistreated me did so in His sovereignty. God has a purpose for everything. For me to be hurt over something someone did or said to me is to be displeased with God's sovereignty in my life.
I can't do that because I know for a fact that God is good and perfect, and all things come together for the greater good for those who love Him and are called according to His purposes.
But today - I feel like God definitely convicted me. Yes, God is sovereign. But I don't think that's what I should be focusing on when I'm being "mistreated".
I think what really needs to happen is I need to repent. What kind of pride is in me that makes me believe I "deserve" to be treated a certain way? If I deserve eternal damnation, which I have been spared from in Christ by grace - why would I be displeased with whatever this life - and my God - has for me?
Pride is such an ugly thing..
