"Basically, your mindset is, "Anything I can't explain was done by God."
That is purely your interpretation because you refuse my testimony that I did not make those changes in myself and I didn't want to. I was advised that my best course of action would be to cut theses people out of my life completely because of the harm their presence threatened. I liked that idea, but I wanted to obey the Bible, because I believe the testimony of the apostles who died horrible deaths after suffering horrible persecutions for what they believed. I believe that they never would have gone through all of that without recanting if they knew it to be a hoax, and I believe they would have been the ones to know if it was a hoax or not.
So, when I read the Bible and prayed about the situation, asking God to change what needed changing in my situation, I was not thinking of myself being the one who would be changed....after all, I'm not the one who was in the wrong. But, God convicted my heart that He loves sinners through His believers and that if I didn't truly love and forgive these people, I wasn't testifying of and thereby living worthily of the forgiveness I have received. All of this happens in the heart, and can only be proven by actions. Of course, you can interpret those actions differently and refuse my testimony of it , though I am the only witness in the situation, and it seems that you have. I could take it personally that you choose to think very lowly of my mental capacities and that you think I delusionally lie, but I do not take it personally, because you and I both know that, though you are rejecting me, it isn't ultimately me that you are rejecting.
