Justice and forgiveness

Trusting God with our hurts is hard.

Forgiveness is about doing just that, though. It is allowing God be God in our situation.

 

But forgiving our cheater is nearly impossible if we believe we care more about justice than God.

Justice matters to God.

He did not just give sin a pass. It isn’t cheap for God to forgive. The blood of God means God takes justice VERY seriously.

Does that mean our cheater simply has to ask God for forgiveness and all is good?

I don’t think so.

God still requires us to work the ministry of reconciliation as His true followers. That reconciliation is not happening if a cheater is unwilling to repair what he or she destroyed.

Back to the trust of God thing…

I just want to encourage you to consider that God might care more about injustice of your situation than you do. God may have greater anger over the injustice you experience than you have.

Personally, I believe this is so.

Does that sound like someone you can trust with your heart and with your wounds?

It does to me.
