Reconciliation

Everyday Reconciliation

​It’s so hard when someone has hurt you and, “It’s not fair.  Why is this happening to me?”  I want payback now!” God IS taking care of things in HIS timing. He’s God and we’re not.   Romans 12:19 is the promise from God saying. “I’ll take care of it because it’s Mine to avenge.” 

But you’re having a hard time waiting and you’re angry.  You know God loves you but your anger prevents you from rational thought.  You’re not alone here. We’ve all been “there.”  Remember too that there’s an enemy and he uses others to get us riled up and sometimes in our anger we become sinful and downright mean.  Let’s try to get in the habit of asking this question to ourselves, “Have you prayed about it as much as you’ve posted about it.  Let the person be taken off your hook and placed on His.  In the meantime, you may need to set healthy boundaries and forgive which is necessary for our FREEDOM.  Reconciliation may take longer because both parties need to own the truth and stop blaming each other. But don’t worry. God promises to avenge you because He sees and knows your feelings and above all He knows your heart…everyday.
