Easy Target

A work colleague and I were engaged in conversation today about a particular case, and he took the opportunity to correct me on a small matter of detail about what had happened. I know that he took great delight in this, I don't doubt that he did it just to get a reaction out of me. He said that he couldn't resist, I was "such an easy target".

I'm reading up at the minute on whether Christians should be thick-skinned. I have previously felt that an attitude like that would prevent me from feeling the needs of others. Although leaving me open to hurt, I feel that not developing a 'thick skin' would enable me to be of more use to God. More on this later...

I forgive my colleague. I should thank him! At least it has set me thinking...
