A Short Story

She doesn’t know what happened.

She woke up one day; everyone hates her and don’t like her. She can’t do anything for the people to forget the past. She admitted she made a mistake and she tried to catch up on things and move on. They can’t forget James and they can’t seem to forgive her. She’s been asking, “What do I need to do? People have been so nosy about my stories and my life. Why do they care about me?”

Matt has been saying a lot of things about her & yet she still tried to befriend him. “Is it my problem that all the while I thought we were friends and he bluntly said in my face that he never treated me one?” she cries. She can’t understand why Matt can’t deal with her anymore. She doesn’t know exactly how she have hurt or offended him that turned his back on her. And he didn’t even mention anything to her so they can work on it.

All the while she was trying to find the root-cause of her problem and until now that she has realized that she doesn’t have to look that far to fix it. It was just right in front of her.

She has been so tired of trying to please everyone and think and do what's best for them. She was once told that, "the worst thing that a leader would do is to try to please everyone" She knows it’s not right but that's the only way she can at least reach out to them. She’s been crying and her heart is in pain. Asking God what His plans are for her and why the things are happening. This scripture came to her and made her realized a lot of things -

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God.2 Cor3:5

- We must experience our weakness to experience God's strength.
She knows He has always been forgiving and understanding; He will not let us fall down.
