What happens when you ask all the right questions?

Why don’t they understand that they hurt you?

The below the belt comment they made was unnecessary. That comment unknowingly to them has potentially permanently damaged your relationship with them.

When you’ve went back over the disagreement in your head countless of times. Attempting to somehow dot every I and cross all the T’s of your confusion.

This situation doesn’t add up, the argument doesn’t make sense.

“When you can’t make sense out of something that doesn’t make sense.”

In elementary school, they considered me a kid on the “unacceptable side” of the disciplinary spectrum. I wasn’t good at expressing my emotions, and when I did express them, they were at a level 10 (levels are a description I use with my wife often to describe the severity of things). I struggled a lot with understanding the reason for my weight. The struggle with my weight gave me an anxiety with being touched. Being touched was a reminder for me that I was overweight because I could feel that person touch me– it was a snap back to reality. None of my childhood friends understood why I reacted this way to something as simple as touch or tap to get my attention. I nor them could explain it. It angered me that they could feel my heaviness once they touched me.

We seldom know what people are dealing with and the truth is most times neither do they. We are often unable to put names, faces, or reasons, to how and why we reacted in the way that we did.

So what happens when it doesn’t make sense? Well we simply just trust God. As Noah did, as Moses did, as Joseph did, as David did, as Mordecai did, as Esther did and most importantly as Jesus did.

“Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:32
