Recently something I wrote in one of my newsletters was taken out of context by a person who received the newsletter. She made assumptions and said some hurtful things to me, without knowing the full details or asking for information. This occurrence caused me to think about how easy misunderstandings and judgmental comments can happen. I responded to the email with the best intentions of trying to resolve the situation, along with a sincere apology but the person who had sent her angry comments to me did not respond. Since there was no response, all I could do was turn the matter over to God and pray for the person who sent me the message.

Have you ever said or done something that was misunderstood by someone? If so, how did you handle the situation?
