This i Believe Essay (Accusations.)

            In this universe there is truly one person that can really judge you and see you for who you really are, and that is God. Throughout my life I’ve been accused of things I have not done. Most of the times its petty things, things that are not that big of a deal, but there is sometimes where it gets serious and that’s when I realize that no matter how much that person accuses me of doing what they said I did, as long as I know deep in my heart that I have not done it I ignore them. 
As a young boy, I was a different person or had a different perspective of things and one of them were whenever someone accused me of doing something that I did not do, I would get very upset and go off at them for accusing me of something I did not do. It made me very angry inside that they’ve taught I have done something when I haven’t.
When I was 13 years old my sister accused me of stealing her money that mom had given her, I remember it was a Sunday night so I was in my room listening to music when she barged in to my room and starts to throw all these accusations saying that “you are the one who stole my money, give it back now.” so the first thing I said to her was that “I did not take your money” but she didn’t believe me and accused me more. That made me upset, very upset so I got up from my bed and we started arguing like crazy, so mom came out of her room and broke us up and told us both to stay in our rooms. As I was sitting In my room, all I could think about was how could she accuse me of something I did not do, it really bothered me that the fact that I knew I didn’t do it and that she didn’t believe me when I said I didn’t.
That same night my sister ended up finding her money in her book bag and came in to my room to apologize for accusing me and that she was sorry, so I forgive her and we made up. And to think I could have avoided all of that just by saying that I did not take it and just ended it there and not have to argue about it.
As I got older and more and more people started accusing me of things I did not do, it made me think, I could avoid the arguments and the fights just by saying I did not do what they said I did and just end it there so that’s what I started doing. It didn’t really matter to me if they believed me or not because I know that deep inside that I did not do it and that even though they don’t believe me I know that God will because that’s the only true person that can judge me for who I really am and no matter what other people say, I know that only God could see the truth and judge me.  
So now whenever someone accuses me of doing something I did not do, I would tell them first that I did not do it and if they would not believe my words then I would just ignore them and not feel guilty because I know that I’m innocent and the one truly person that can judge me is God and not them.
