If you’ve been unfairly judged, don’t give up: God knows and will act in His time, He will make it right when the time is right!

 

Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry. 

~2 Timothy 4:11

If you’ve been unfairly judged, don’t give up: God knows and will act in His time, He will make it right when the time is right! The prayer I read each day, Our Daily Bread, really resonated with me today. It was talking about how God will make it right when the time is right. If you are unfairly mistreated or judged or there was injustice done to you, we need to think of what they did to Jesus. Like it says below, when we’re unfairly judged, may we remember that Jesus understands how we feel: He Himself was judged a sinner though He wasn’t, and He was treated worse than a common criminal though He was the Son of God. God will make it right, please Him and don't worry about others and how they may mistreat you, judge you, abandon you,  ignore you, or talk bad about you. What matters is what God thinks, He is calling you when it is time, He will make it right. 

Today Our Daily Bread said, "A hardworking clerk, Erin always did her job well. But after she was accused of dishonesty, Erin was put on leave while being investigated. She felt like quitting in protest but was advised to wait it out. “Leaving suggests you’re guilty,” she was told. So Erin stayed, praying for God to give her justice. Sure enough, months later, she was cleared. John Mark may have felt the same when Paul dropped him from the mission team. To be sure, the young man had left them earlier (Acts 15:37-38). But perhaps he’d regretted this and was hoping to be included this time. He must have felt unfairly judged by Paul; only Barnabas believed in him. Years later, Paul would change his mind. “Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry,” he said (2 Timothy 4:11). John Mark must have been relieved to have his reputation restored. When we’re unfairly judged, may we remember that Jesus understands how we feel: He Himself was judged a sinner though He wasn’t, and He was treated worse than a common criminal though He was the Son of God. But He continued to do His Father’s will, knowing that He’d be vindicated and shown to be righteous. If you’ve been unfairly judged, don’t give up: God knows and will act in His time."

We need to continue to do our Father’s will, knowing that He’d be vindicated and shown to be righteous. If you’ve been unfairly judged, don’t give up: God knows and will act in His time. Wait until He calls you, like Paul called for Mark. God is calling us, He made us for a reason, His timing is always perfect, even when we are mistreated or unfairly judged, abandoned, or hated, anything, God knows. God will vindicate you! He will make it right, He will call us in due time, He will make it right, God knows you can be helpful to His mission!
