What a terrible mess! A child of God was injured. Another one is condemned by his own doings. Satan has it both ways, and he’s pleased with himself! He managed to cause damage, and get people in trouble with God, just the way he likes it. The maker is losing two children! One – to guilt and shame, and the other – to sorrow and doubt!
But, wait, what happened?
The injured party has forgiven? The guilty party isn’t guilty anymore, since there is no victim… and therefore, no crime to prosecute?
Satan has lost his grip on the situation. Our forgiveness, fueled by God’s Love made magic! We have changed an act of evil, and made it to bear good fruits… fruits of love!
When that happens, the “edge” of the wrongdoing is taken, like a snake without its venom, if you will, and you can heal from the injury that was actually never caused…
And believe me, healing from an injury you have forgiven, is a wonderful and purifying blessing. Everything becomes relative… Jesus died for our sins, what more do we need to know? Yes, it is true that we were hurt, but He’s there, willing to take the pain away, if you just let it go… When we forgive, we let it go, and Jesus, faithfully takes it away…
Magic, isn’t it?
But, still, there is more…
