7-2-2024 – A Word to the Wise – My Enemies

I have never addressed this topic before, I am today since I have added a new name to the list of some 865.

Who makes up this list, someone may ask? Well first there are those who physically tried to murder me and the Lord my God protected me. All are or were in prison, there are seven and perhaps eight in this group.

The next group are those who physically, or emotionally abused me. There are a great number on this list, however many are now dead and to be honest there passing, I am tempted to say brings me joy, but not really.

Another group are those in one manner or another who betrayed me.

The last make up the largest number and were or are most difficult to forgive; those who gossip, lie, or make up stories not based in reality. This group is the most difficult to forgive, and they most certainly are not forgotten.

In contrast are those I have sinned against and there are so many that I cannot even number them, however the Lord does.

The lesson here is to acquire forgiveness, you must forgive sometimes neither is easy.
