Servant of All
I endured sexual harassment throughout 2022. My brother gave me advice to let the guy help me and so get to know him (single) better. I asked him out for coffee - he wanted a relationship in the workplace. It's possible but risky. So even though I put him on God's altar, I said if he's not prepared to shut the door, then I'd do it for him. He decided to go to the boss and get him to tell me not to talk with him again. God told me not to initiate anything; this man has to be the initiator. His behavior—he's been nice to me often, and I reciprocate, mirroring him, e.g., smiling back at him. His co-workers are cordially nice to me and smile at me, greeting me, opening doors for me. They do not invade my privacy, nor do I theirs. Since then, I saw a good business opportunity, so I asked this person (only once) if I could call him about it and if not, then he could call me. He didn't. I checked the information I had and found I could secure this opportunity for him and transfer it to him for the cost I had incurred. He does not know this at this time, and I think he now doesn't need to know it. All I wanted to do is to do good for someone who has caused me harm and yet been restoring the breach using consensual niceness. Possibly an accusation of stalking? Protect me, God! This man has initiated all consensual communications with me over the previous six months since I was told not to talk with him. I am in the car park before he is. I noted all episodes of consensual communications between us. I am giving this information to the union. I pray for good legal representation. Hopefully, nip this in the bud. In this day, even students trying to contact a teacher and education team leader can be accused of stalking when they keep trying and are unable to reach them. God gives me peace and the sense not to stress over it. To keep sweet, pure thoughts and keep my mind staid on Him. He will fight this battle for me, and I will hold my peace. I can't do anything to save this problem.
