You just never know

So there is a girl at work that I have had a bit of mixed feelings about in the past, she is super fakey sweet sometimes, and then she will say something to try to hurt me or insult me just out of nowhere, she does it to everyone as well as being someone who takes advantage whenever possible.
So I continually am forgiving her in my own spirit , knowing she is just lost and intends no harm in what she does, cause I always want to keep my spirit right, and my witness! So last night at work we were closing and she told me that she thought I was an amazing person and so strong, and she looked up to me. It's like everything she has done has been a test , will I still accept her, will I lash out or gossip about her,and none of those things have happened. So I'm not sure how it happened but wow it threw me off for her to say that.... I guess you just never know do ya?
Then today someone else who has been hurtful in the past opened up to me , and we had a definite "moment" and she said it was nice talking to me.
It would have been so very easy in either situation to react badly to people who hurt you with no reason except their own gain, to harbor unforgivness , develop an attitude, plot revenge etc. but I made a choice that I would rise above it, for my own sake really. And now look what God has done with it. Maybe that helps someone, maybe it was just for me... You just never know!
