The group called The Animals belted it out in 1965 and titled it, “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.”
“Don’t let me be misunderstood” means “Please understand that although I sometimes seem negative or angry, my intentions are good.” It is a plea for understanding. It begs others to look beyond temporary negative actions or words to see the inherent good in that person, acknowledging his or her complexities and imperfections.
Been there, done that is the common colloquialism. We all cry out for understanding on occasion. Does God answer that? Glad you asked.
Psalm 103:13-14
As a father pities his children,
So the Lord pities those who fear Him.
For He knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.
God is a God who knows us (and all of our shortcomings) intimately, yet He still loves us infinitely. Give it some thought.
