John 1:4-5 - In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Have you ever felt misunderstood?  You try to do the right thing, you try to explain it, defend it, or encourage it and no one understands why you’ve done what you did.

The easy example is when someone reviles you or threatens you and you don’t revile or threaten in return: 1 Peter 2:23-24

• Someone says they deserve what’s coming to them, and then starts giving you ways to “get even.”  Possibly, they may even encourage or enable the opportunity to do so.  However, you try to explain why you aren’t going to give into that line of thinking, and that you simply want to dismiss the need or feeling for retribution or revenge.
