“The genius of GOD revealed through the necessity of selfishness in forgiveness is awesome. All you really need to know are two things. 1) GOD commands you to forgive. That makes it an obedience issue and not really about love 2)It’s really for your own good. God understands the heavy burden not doing it will inevitably become for your soul, how it will morph into things like bitterness that twist you into vile heart postures which distort your nature over time. He also knows how it will be used by your enemy to weigh you down and make you stuck. So in His love, He asks you to drop it all and leave it for Him to handle. Teaching you in the process how to trust His judgment as ‘The Avenger’. There is pure power in this. Even if your offender never apologizes, FORGIVE. It’s the wise thing to do, not to mention that God says HE won’t forgive your sins if you don’t! You really wanna risk that? on a person? Meanwhile some of y’all be offending Him on the daily, so just imagine the tab you’ve racked up by holding grudges and staying offended. Better wise up and be selfish enough to forgive.”
“Reconciliation is another matter though, that requires repentance evident by the transformation of hearts. It’s great, this way you get to be right with GOD and with man.”
“The person I practice forgiveness on the most is satan. Not gonna lie I would very much like to kill that nigga but GOD has spoken and it cannot be revoked. After my parents died I wanted to become a hunter but then I quickly realized that to truly get ‘justice’ I would have to murder the devil and then I read what GOD wrote about him and how his sad life ends and I stood down. Imagine how free I got when I then really REALLY learned that GOD can kill His children too! Just ask Moses. Yup, for their good and His glory He absolutely will if He has to, theses are the responsibilities of being The Sovereign. As annoying as loosing Joshua was and the added anger of mohbad’s unfair death at the hands of evil men, It only didn’t matter in my reactions because I was already healed. I understand that things that GOD doesn’t outrightly permit don’t happen to his Children. NOTHING is permitted to even come near my family and I without GOD allowing it, so these days I find rest and peace and hope in knowing that God is GOD. In the end, we are all waiting for The Avenger to avenge. ‘Save room for My wrath’ He says and so I do. The wrath of GOD will be glorious to watch from Heaven when we’re raptured.”
Honey
Be selfish enough to let yourself please GOD while freeing yourself to grow into a trusting relationship with GOD at the same time. Win, win, win.
