I wonder if you, like I, get angry with people who exploit others??
I know I shouldn't, and I don't want too....BUT, I fail and I do.
One particular person who I have always trusted and admired, lied to me.
I couldn't believe it!
Then I discovered more lies...
And, it hurt.
NO! Its not my husband...
Then I did the unthinkable.
I talked about it with my children.
I was livid mad... especially as it had to do with my mother.
No one, but no one, was going to harm my mother.
Well God had dealt with me again....
Yesterday I got up and opened my Bible to read the following verse.
"Do not repay anyone evil for evil.
Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written:
“It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”says the Lord.
On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
Romans 12:17-21

So because I totally believe Gods Word...
And because I know He knows best.
I am doing what He tells me...
I hang my head with shame and ask His forgiveness.
(Yet Again)
Praise His holy name.
