Where is my Mind? God is There.
I’ve been so angry lately. Not about things happening in far-off, foreign countries, but right here at home, in America.
Women are being assaulted. Moreover, the abusers not only laugh and joke about it, they are protected and treated like victims.
Meanwhile, Jane Doe is mocked and criticized. Where is my Mind? God is There.
Take Megyn Kelly, the media personality, as an example. She recently targeted Jane Doe on her show, offering this gem: “I’m just going to be honest, she’s not the most attractive gal.” She adds that she’s extremely beefy in her arms and legs. She has a whole video online talking about her cankles.
Moreover, in my mind, when women don’t support other women, it is worse than when men fail to do so.
Shame on you for your hateful, rude, and misogynistic words. Where is my Mind? God is There. Shame.
Addressing Victim Shaming and Support for Survivors
And it doesn’t stop there.
Jane Doe has been mocked by her abusers and several boys in a fraternity group chat. Additionally Cornell wouldn’t refund her tuition to take the rest of the semester off. However her abusers go unpunished and she is forced to see her abusers everyday. This is according to Jane Doe’s lawyer Thomas Guiffra on CNN and ABC News.
When did we as a society decide to protect abusers over victims?
Shouldn’t we be asking: What about the victims? What about their futures?
Then, to add insult to injury, Shane Gillis mocked women with vile slurs on national television. Just because of the outfits they wore to the gym.
Jesus said, ‘If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away’ (Matthew 5:29)?
How can we foster a culture of supporting women when men call us terrible names and platforms shield abusers?
I’ve learned from both Megyn and Shane that misogyny doesn’t belong to a single gender.
The core problem is a culture where people are continually excused for bad behavior.
That includes shielding those who do harm.
It also includes actions like tearing others down with hateful words.
Lately, this anger has become overwhelming.
My righteous anger curdled into something aggressive.
As a result, constantly scrolling through negative news on Instagram wore me down spiritually.
I was re-posting out of rage rather than love.
That meant I traded prayer and communion with God for the bitter escape of harsh criticism.
Because of that, peace quietly slipped away, and my prayer life shrank.
Demanding that the world take accountability for its toxicity, I realized I was letting my heart off the hook.
Anger was replacing the grace I am called to embody.
During my quiet time a couple of days ago, God gently reminded me that He is still here.
In a world that feels overwhelmingly dark, He remains.
Additionally, there has been evil in the world before me, and there will be evil after me.
I am just passing through until I am united with Him in eternity.
However, God doesn’t excuse our bad behavior, but He does offer us a way back.
Thus, I am deeply grateful that He granted me humility in my anger.
Now and until the end of time, He remains in control.
How do you hold onto spiritual peace when the culture around us seems determined to reward bad behavior?
Have you ever had to catch yourself when righteous anger began turning into something bitter?
Let’s talk about it in the comments below.
Additionally, I’d love to hear how you keep your heart anchored in grace without closing your eyes to the world.
