@Christiangal Just want to say I feel bad about what you have been going through. I hope my reply did not come off as insensitive ('preaching at you') or causing fault guilt. I am praying for you.

Pray and give it to God. Then let it go. He has it covered.

Its a chance to do what Jesus told us to do :

Matt 5:43 You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.

Matt 5:46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?…

Place your value / self worth in the God who made you uniquely you.

Ignore the rest / pray for them as Christ told us to pray for our enemies who spitefully use / abuse you.

The only way I've been able to stomach such a prayer is to pray a prayer that was in the play Fiddler on the Roof

and was intended to be a joke in the play but makes a mighty fine prayer for our enemies...

"I pray the LORD bless and keep ____________________ (fill in the blank) far away from me!"

I have been profoundly amazed by how the LORD honors and keeps that prayer in my life.

Sometimes I can tell someone is intentionally going out of their  way to make me feel inferior. To make me feel ugly, less than , poor, insignificant. Because of my class, race, looks, etc.

 

It it makes me so mad and upset that they’re doing it on purpose and enjoying every second of my sadness and anger. 

 

I want want to get mad at them, not just for myself but on behalf of all people they treat that way. I want to put them in their place!  Who do they think they are?  They’re the ugly insignificant one!

 

But...what does Jesus want me to do?  

Love. Love those that make you feel the opposite of love.

If both sides aren't expressing love, then when will the cycle end?

They may not accept it on the outside, but their spirit will definitely feel the love you are showing them.

Who knows, maybe you will change them?

In peace
