1st Samuel 1:13 Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk.
There also comes a day in my life, when I was misunderstood, rumors are spread, people misinterpreted me, not knowing what the truth is, not knowing what I was really going through. Some people how much you try they are hard to love, I hope you understand this, had you gone through the same.
These times are long and it hurt so bad, I didn’t understand why they do what they do? It was even harder to understand when they smile at you and they are so good to you, but at your back, you can see clearly…what they said about you.
It was back on 13/3/2020 more than 100 houses was burnt down many of my relatives lost everything, even one of my little cousin was missing for two days, nobody knew where he is, his parents were not at home, he was there alone when this happened. Being away and staying in a hostel, I was worried sick. Scrolling through all the pictures and videos on social media, what one Christian village did to the other, break my heart. So I took leave the next day telling my wardens the reason behind my leave, and they agreed so. I fast and prayed for both the villages, as we called ourselves Christians but our actions were brutal. Asking God to forgive us our sins, and intervene in the situation.
To my surprise even, my leave for this day was interpreted in a different way, spreading rumors on the whole campus, which I came to know one year later. The day I knew this after one year from a friend, I just wonder how people easily say anything not knowing what the truth is, I was a little disturbed. Then, I realized why I care, what people think about me, that’s not important, I cannot change their minds. But, my dear today, I don’t care what they might be thinking about me, because I now know that God only Knows, what the truth is, and that is completely enough. Take heart if you are being misunderstood, for He knows the truth, you don’t have to clarify yourselves to others, people believed in only what they see.
