A
reminder for today
Do
not gloat over me, my enemies! For though I fall, I will rise again. Though I
sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light. (Micah 7:8)
It is funny how the Lord works. We often think we know
what is to follow but God can change any path and any course. One moment we
might be heading north and the next moment we are facing south. The past few
months has been tough on me but it also opened my eyes to so many things. I saw
again how important family is and quickly they unite to help us and keep us up
in our storms. I saw how friends open the hearts and how people you do not even
know reach out and help. Then I saw how friends become enemies and how suddenly
people can turn their backs on you. I saw good people suddenly turning against
you and how people will judge. Some of them have made similar mistakes or even
worse ones and how they suddenly look down on you.
I saw how the enemy can influence people and make them
cold and hard. But I also saw the light of love in those who has always been
there for me and has never judged me regardless of my mistakes. I heard the
gossips and saw the starring and judging eyes. I watched as people look on as
my world collapses and my storms nearly destroy me.
My friend, you know how that feels, because regardless of
who you are or where you are in this beautiful world, you have seen the good
and the bad in people. The hard part is forgiving and accepting. We too have
been good and bad and we must also be forgiven.
God reminds me today that we must forgive as we wish to
be forgiven or how we have been forgiven. Jesus gave His life for our sins
regardless of what they were and who we are. He loves us no matter what we did
or what we have done.
God says that our enemies should not gloat over the fact
that we have fallen. We will rise again. We might sit in darkness now, but the
Lord is our light and His light is unbreakable. When God moves in us the world
around us will end up in a whirlpool of change. So I look at my enemies and I forgive
them, because I am busy rising.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
