What will you do when your enemy stands in front of you and stares you in the face and mocks you because you have forgiven them for their transgressions? How much confidence and strength is gained in the enemy when they know that their evil doings will be forgiven? When a lying, ungrateful, and deceiving friend or neighbor or loved one presents themself to you as if their transgressions haven't hurt you, what will you do? How will you react? Will you remind them of their hurt caused? Will you show them the scars from their evil transgressions against you? Will you turn your back to them? Will you ask for an apology BEFORE you forgive them?
Prepare yourself. What will you do when the evil causes you harm through great sin, and then act if nothing happened? A sin twice over in your doorstep mocking you...what will you do?
The sword is upon you. Harden your rock.
Again, this one is describing what I have been going through with the split up in court and the repercussions of it all. Wow...
