My 1st time here.<BR/><BR/>I recently posted on Forgiveness and it was along the same lines...<BR/><BR/>As I read these comments and the commonality of our shared struggles and victories, it reminds me of the times we live in: <BR/><BR/>From the amplified:<BR/>Matthew 24:<BR/>10And then many will be offended and repelled and will [e]begin to distrust and desert [Him Whom they ought to trust and obey] and will stumble and fall away and betray one another and pursue one another with hatred.<BR/><BR/>and then a few verses down<BR/><BR/>12And the love of [f]the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity,<BR/><BR/> 13But he who endures to the end will be saved.<BR/><BR/>We win because we don't give up! :) Tool cool!

That's something that's easy to remember and I can remind myself of this quickly.<BR/><BR/>Thanks also for the challenge at the end about waiting for the Lord to bring about the truth and justice of our circumstances, even if it does not happen in this lifetime.

It really has been helpful. If anything, you've helped me to realize that I'm not always the "righteous" person I think I am. You are a good Christian woman who is doing wonderful things for people by sharing positive messages to learn by, and I do an awful lot of complaining! You're a good example to the rest of us. <BR/><BR/>I'm thinking of deleting my post about my BIL. I've basically been in hiding online since I posted it, so it might be a good thing all around. I created my own prison by posting all that information and worrying every day if he'll ever read it and come after me in some way. How, then, am I being a peacemaker? If anything, I've always prided myself on being able to diffuse tense situations and having the ability to calm people down. By keeping that post up, I risk a lot of drama, and I will have caused it, even if I didn't cause the original act of hurt. And also, I don't want to live in fear, and I basically have been since it was published.<BR/><BR/>I know I'm rambling...sorry...but I wanted to thank you for helping me to understand what road I should go down. I think I already knew, but my human ego and pride got in the way of my spiritual good judgement!Dust-bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610355970669069345noreply@blogger.com
