There’s a single line from the movie “The Color Purple” I thought of just now, and I found myself sort of…wishing it on my wife’s former employer, on her behalf. Celie’s family has finally had a huge blowup fight and she curses Mister and says, “Until you do right by me, everything you do gonna fail.”
These people, and the way they do things, has me wishing abject failure on their every endeavor. Then again, justice belongs to the Lord, not me.
Still, for some reason they did ill by my wife. Who knows why?
Yep. Failure for them.
I say this with the realization that it isn’t particularly kind, and likely is nowhere near what my girl is thinking.
It isn’t the ‘Christian’ thing to think.
But I am human and fallible and it’s what I was thinking. Yet I want God’s favor on my family. I think any good man does.
With that in mind, may God reach out to these people and touch their hearts in some way.
Even if they’re withered like salted plums.
Tom…
What if God told you ahead of time that He was gonna take your wife down a really hard path that seems unfair but its necessary for Him to refine her. Would you have accepted it and trusted Him? Dont give in to the harsh thoughts that weigh you down and hold you back. See this as an opportunity from the Almighty to grow you both.
