So, I was running today and feeling God's blessing upon me. I ran by the beach and it was beautiful. I just wanted to bless everyone around me. Runners and cyclers often tend to great eachother in passing with just a wave, gesture, etc. I was on a long, narrow stretch of trail and I passed a cyclist going the other way. As I passed, I attempted to greet him with a slight wave of the hand. It was the hand that held my water bottle and as I attempted to wave, the bottle began to slip. As I gripped the bottle tighter while waving at this guy, the only greeting he got was my middle finger!
My intent was to wave at him, but unfortunately he got the bird. He didn't come back and ask me why I flipped him off, and I'm convinced he didn't take it that way.
Why? Because in context, he knew my intent was a greeting. This may be a silly analogy, but don't you think that God knows our intents all the more and would certainly pardon things or thoughts that could be perceived as malicious despite the way things appear?

Hope it can help other people recover from OCD too. Im starting to have lessened OCD symptoms (thanks to God and the people here) and it could disappear within a few days or so (I have residual OCD so it disappears after a few weeks).
