How many times has many of us said, "that's it, I'm not going any farther, enough is enough?" A lot of people who have made this statement, unfortunately, have kept their word. Others don't seem to believe that they have a choice to quit forgiving. Jesus told the man who was questioning him about how many times must one forgive, " seven times seventy," was the answer. In other words, there is no place in your life that you can stop forgiving. "Then what about me," you may ask? "If no one is ever going to listen to me, then I'm through with them." I believe God gives us peace over our heavy burdens when we feel sure that we're being treated unfairly. We may not get it our way, but never doubt, God is the winner in the end. Those who wouldn't consider others feelings, maybe because they thought they were superior over others, just be sure they will suffer the consequences. A Godly hurt is better than a Satanic punishment. I personally know a few people who left this world being unforgiven by their loved ones. I also know some who left this world with unforgiving hearts. Some were parents who disowned their children because the child didn't live up to their standards. I can truly say that everyone who did not forgive has paid dearly.
I suppose God gave me this message for all who may be suffering now because of unfair consideration by some, while still others are trying to control the whole army and need to realize that God is real, and will really do what he says he will do. If any of you think that you are mightier than God, and know how to handle things better, woe! be unto you. Much sorrow will come to those who do not love and respect their brothers and sisters. God asks the question, "how can you say you love God when you love not your brothers and sisters?" I pray all who are reading this will stop and think about eternity. It is real and it is for everyone, both good and bad.
God bless
