✂️ Rip Up the Old Script: When Misunderstanding Meets Grace

Ever been blamed for something you didn’t do?
Maybe someone twisted your words, judged your motives, or believed a story that wasn’t true.
You’re left standing in frustration—misunderstood, wronged, maybe even betrayed.

Yeah… we’ve all been there.

But what if the blessing isn’t in proving them wrong—
What if the blessing is in ripping up the old script and writing a new one with compassion?

💡 A Memory That Changed Everything

Recently, I was wrongly blamed—and I felt it hard.
But as I sat in the sting of that moment, something came back to me…

An experience I lived nearly 20 years ago.

I was leading a professional seminar—dressed sharp, fully prepared, ready to deliver.
Then, in walks someone influential. Front row. Center seat. Phone in hand.

The whole seminar, they stared at their phone.
Scrolling. Typing. Barely a glance my way.

In my head, the story started writing itself:

“They’re being rude. Disrespectful. Why even show up if you’re too important or too busy to pay attention?”

I left frustrated and judged them hard—until months later, in a surprising twist…

🌀 The Truth I Didn’t See Coming

One night, on an out-of-town business trip, I walked into the lobby of my hotel to check-in for the evening; and, right there in the lobby, I ran into the same person.

To my shock, they lit up when they saw me.
They shook my hand and introduced me proudly to a circle of leaders:

“This guy gave one of the best seminars I’ve ever attended!
It was great. I was taking notes on my phone the entire time!”

Ohhhh. Wow! I felt like such an idiot.

The story I told myself was completely wrong.
And it hit me: How often do we do this?

• Misread a moment

• Misjudge a motive

• Misplace our emotions

✝️ Choose Compassion Over Condemnation

In the same way I misjudged that person… I’ve been misjudged too.
And so have you.

That’s why the most powerful thing we can do today is crank up our compassion.

“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins.” – 1 Peter 4:8

Instead of firing back… bless them.
Instead of assuming the worst… believe the best.
Instead of clinging to pride… choose humility.

🔄 3 Ways to Rewrite the Script Today

1️⃣ Bless Even When Blamed

When someone misunderstands you, resist the urge to defend or destroy.
Matthew 5:44 says, “Bless those who curse you.”
That’s hard. But it’s holy. And it frees your spirit from bitterness.

If you misread someone, own it. Humble yourself.
A sincere word can heal what assumptions destroy.

3️⃣ Lead With Love

Every act of love rewrites someone’s day.
You never know what battle they’re fighting — so choose kindness over conclusion.
