The Big Payback

In the midst of communion we should all be of one accord looking to repent and receiving forgiveness from the Lord yet people tend to look only for some type of revenge from those whom they think have taken something from them to demand from another what they think they are due unwilling to forgive a debt until it is through yet God believes that forgiveness should be a state of mind where one should be able to move past the betrayals after a time to relax, to release and to learn to let it go to move beyond our hurt feelings, emotions and egos we are all in debt to Our Lord Jesus the Christ a debt that we can never repay for the rest of our lives yet God looks beyond our faults, our failures and mistakes and He'll always forgive us no matter how long it takes God looks beyond our selfishness and our attitudes He looks pasts our pettiness and ever changing moods a horizontal forgiveness coming down from the Heavenly Throne but a vertical forgiveness to each other we can't seem to own we've forgotten that God gives us His forgiveness in so many ways yet we can't seem to forgive each other on any given day when we fail to forgive we bring upon ourselves stress when we hold on to the petty grudges and the bitterness we make ourselves sick over some supposed attack and all we can focus on is having a big payback to be upset and angry all of the time too preoccupied to even have God on our minds looking for revenge and just wanting to get even so full of rage that only red we are seeing but that is not the way that God wants us to live for it was His saving grace that to us He did give to turn the other cheek to forgive and to forget to be in step with the Son and the Holy Spirit don't let the duck of failure hang over your head seek to be like Jesus and have a life that's spirit led to live to forgive with no desire to attack to learn to forget about having a big payback
