How do I process when someone is bitter towards me? When the situation is messy -- and I've apologized and also put out a peaceful offering? And I don't know if I needed to apologize -- but there is something inside me that always believes that even though I've been wronged, somehow -- I deserve it. I don't think I know how to have righteous anger towards someone else after they've hurt me. I make myself forget, I cover it up, and I justify their actions by knowing that I am not perfect and probably caused the situation - albeit not meaning to.
How do I as a Christian deal with this? Do I try to fix it -- because a loving Christian would? Do I let the relationship(s) crumble? Was there even a relationship to being with?
I honestly thought the older I got, the more I would understand stuff like this. But the older I get -- the more I realize only Jesus knows.
