Dealing With False Accusations

[AllForHisGlory]

Recently I was accused of something by my school administrators. This took place over a two day period and just involved a lot of distrust towards me in general. The first day, I helped fix the problem I was accused of, offering possible explanations to clear my name etc. That obviously wasn’t enough because the next day I had a principal and superintendent *talking* to me every couple periods. It was quite nerve racking to say the least. I was eventually cleared of accusation but it still feels like they hold me somewhat accountable.

What hurts even more is the fact that these are Christian administrators at the school. I am a 4.0 student, never once even getting a detention, heck I am even leading the worship team next year at the school. It hurts when you see a Christian individual confront a problem, make accusations towards another individual and NOT EVEN ONCE consider the character of the individual. Its not as if they are just an administrator, they are my brothers in Christ...in the body of Christ...

It is just frustrating I guess....any advice?

Sarcasm, I would assume...

Yes it is tough. My biggest fear, is being accused and jailed for something I did not do. It drives me insane, and I've had nightmares about the very thing happening.

Being accused of something you did not do is very infuriating. Best way to handle it is to assert yourself, and ensure your story is accurate and as truthful as possible. tell the same, detailed explanation each time.

How to handle it emotionally. Take a deep breath. let it work it's path. You are at school, don't stress. Accusation in school have very very little carry over into the real world. Do not fret. I've known people who were suspended dozens of time still make it into any collegiate school they wanted.

In the real world, it's much harder, as now those false accusations have real relation and financial implications with family, friends, and yourself. Sometimes I just have to remind myself that these accusations will come to be false at the day of judgment and I will be cleared.

It sounds like the Lord is calling you to a very deep, transformational work in your heart.

I have had some experience with this kind of treatment myself, and this is the scripture the Lord led me to:

Isa 53:7 ​​​​​​​​He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, ​​​​​​​yet he opened not his mouth; ​​​​​​​like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, ​​​​​​​and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, ​​​​​​​so he opened not his mouth. ​​​

Even when it's brethren, it's an especially serious honor when this happens to us. Jesus is saying, "Come, partake of my sufferings. I will transform your heart more into the likeness of mine, if you let me."

God will always defend and vindicate you, but it will be in His timing. Trust Him, and forgive and bless those who despitefully use your or wrongfully treat you while you are actually behaving righteously. Truly, they do not know what they're doing.
