Some goodness from DynamicCatholic.com ...
It is in the truly difficult moments that depth of character is revealed.
When an injustice occurs in our lives, it can be so easy to let frustration determine our action and retribution become our final goal. It’s even considered by most to be the sensible and understandable reaction to injustice. But anyone who has let vengeance carry the day can tell you that it is destructive for everyone involved.
God did not create you in the hopes of completely changing who you are at some point in your life. He didn’t say, “Whoops, looks like I messed up a little here! Oh well, I will fix that later . . .”
God never makes mistakes. But God does break into the fabric of our daily lives to transform us from the inside out. Not because we need fixing, but because he desires for us to be fully alive! As Saint Irenaeus once said, “The Glory of God is man fully alive.” And, the only way to be fully alive is to become perfectly yourself.
Bear wrongs PATIENTLY.
While it can be incredibly painful, the opportunity to bear wrongs patiently holds within it the power to transform your life and the life of the person who wronged you.
