It is very easy to get things out of perspective when we're stressed and hurting. We pull into ourselves in a self-protective mode. In a sense this is a natural response to suffering. It's part of the healing process. But we must not allow self-protection to become self-pity. And, when life has been very unfair to us, we naturally want to defend and justify ourselves. But we can go too far. We can be so determined to vindicate ourselves that we forget about the injustices that others face. We can even become angry with God. This happened to Job. And if it happened to one of the greatest men in the Bible, it can happen to us.
