Make me more like Jesus

Oh, what a week it has been I have learned so much about myself my daughter and a few other important people in our lives.  We were and are still hurt by some of the things that happened.  I was just washing the dishes and realized that there are people that could look at the way I handled this as odd or wrong even.  My daughter has been punished for something she had no control over and I am the one to blame for the punishment.  Yet Monday night and last night I talked with the offender still hurt but civil and it dawned on me today this is how God feels.  We often do things that hurt him and yet he is still there he doesn't throw us out never accepting us again.  I thought for a bit that this is how Jesus feels but I have not been as loving or forgiving like Jesus.
I still hurt and the offender will not see the tears that stream down my dad and his granddaughters face when shows up tonight.  because he came to support her through her race. Then her and I both need the emotional support of him being there when she is sitting out a race because of my actions more than we would if she ran tomorrow night.  Wow even as I write this I am seeing more ways God is so in this.  As her mom I want her to see her value as a person is not the races she runs but the way she responds to others and how she handles being able to know when she needs self-care moments.  We are hurt by those around us those we love deeply and we want to see them get what they deserve but then we must sit back and love like Jesus and forgive and care as he did to so many that wronged him in his time and in the end I pray that both my daughter and I can come out of this more like Jesus. Loving, kindly and not holding onto the hurt that is angering us like the Israelites did.
This is petty I know compared to other things that we deal with in life but to a 16yr old it's helping her see where her values lay vs those around her.

1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
     
      I guess today my prayer is that you all pray for me and yourselves that we can forgive others not just for the little hurts but the big hurts too. I know this is easier said than done but may the Glory of this week go to God as we have strengthened our family ties over the pain. May you too see that God will show up in the midst of the hard things when you look for him. Aman
