This is short. I am hurting because there is so much anger and hostility revolving around a couple of dear people in my family. The bottom line is that life is too short to continually react to an affront by someone else. Yes, life is painful. Sometimes, it is those who are supposed to love us the most that hurt us the deepest. Unfortunately, that is part of it. Judas was a close friend of Jesus. Jesus also knew that his FATHER had planned for Jesus to die for all of our sins. He knew pain, rejection, and true heartache. Jesus did not promise us a smooth road. He did say we would have hard times, but He never leaves us. Each pain is an opportunity to show everyone around what He looks like, how He would handle things, how He is working in us. I just read the book, "Fear No Evil" by Pastor Brady Boyd, the Pastor of New Life in Colorado Springs, CO. They experienced some devastating events that the devil tried to use to take them out. It didn't work. To God be the Glory. They are stronger and purer for going through the fire.
May we all be.
Forgive Everyone Everything. Don't take it personally. We are not warring against flesh and blood, but against principality. Remember this. Don't give the devil an inch in your life. It is too valuable to the Kingdom of God. I love you all, be blessed.
