One the road of life during the many stops and turns you make, the streets and byways you travel, its never OK to toss a cocktail behind you and burn a bridge after you've crossed it. no matter how tempting. No matter how easy, no matter how many books you've read on how to do it. Why? because not only will others cross after you but you may have to go that way again, and again. When you are kind to your enemies or even to the ones that have just done you wrong, you allow God to be God. Keep working for Him, keep learning of Him and He will take care of your life. He will not only work on that person to make them a better them but he may use them to bless you. He may use their wronging of you to encourage someone else in their shoes (not yours). That person my wind up being your blessing or at the very least your lesson. See, if they are to be punished, that's God's job, oh He can do it much better than you. If they are to be converted (which is usually the case) it will have little to do with your worldly punishments but with God's grace being extended to them. They will be forgiven by God, even before they ask and waaay before they deserve it. If you are walking like God will you forgive them? Will you wait until it feels good? or will you please the Lord? I have been tried in unforgiveness lately. I once said that the absence of a reason to not trust does not equal trust. Like wise the absence of instances to forgive does not mean you have conquered that thing. It only means that you have had no opportunity to extend forgiveness. If you are to be put on the wheel should I... I mean you expect to be tried in every area that we don't have victory? Sure the fire burns but oh when you come out...like pure gold.
Just a note to encourge me...I mean you. Learn your lesson and learn it well, get off the track and stop running laps, instead, run tell somebody (of His goodness)
