Wanting to hurt no one

May God our Lord never let me harm anyone when I cannot help him!

Saint Ignatius 

I have misrepresented God in my heart, 

Abraham Lincoln: With malice toward none, with charity for all, ...let us strive on to finish the work we are in, ...to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

God in his heart  has never wanted to hurt you. You are hurting yourself if you misrepresent God by  harboring ill will in your heart towards anyone. If you have harbored ill will in your heart towards anyone God does not want to condemn you. He wants to help you turn back to only wanting the best for other people.
