TAKE, my brethren, THE PROPHETS, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, FOR AN EXAMPLE OF SUFFERING AFFLICTION, AND OF PATIENCE. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. James 5:10-11. Please read the following as an illustration only, and not as a religious command. What's your first thought when someone cuts you off on the highway and it was dangerously close to great harm to you and your family? Vengeance? Retaliation? or, "I'll get you for that"? What if the Lord spoke to you and said, "I saw what that guy almost did to you and your family, stand aside and I'll kill him and his whole family next week, he won't bother you ever again". Do you say, "Ya Lord, for what he almost did to me, take 'em all out!!! Or do you fall on your face in the Prayer Closet and beg the Lord through much prayer and intercession to be Merciful and Gracious to the man and his family to SAVE THEM ALL. Does anybody really deserve to die and go to Hell for offending you? Look at what the Prophets of old endured and died of, JUST FOR PREACHING THE WORD. We too, may be called home, through death, just like they were. The Prophets of old, and Christ, are perfect examples of, "If anyone deserves retaliation, I do", and yet, they all walked away from what was rightfully theirs. It's True, the worse someone treats you, the more you need to pray for them. And who better than you to forgive them of their terrible sins against you? Forgiveness is a two way street. As you Forgive others of their sins against you, the Lord Forgives you of your sins against Him. And EVERYBODY wins!!! Except Satan, his short time of hatred is almost over. He and his are cast into The Lake Of Fire. When you Forgive others of their sins against you, it will clean out your soul, and you will, Be Blessed.
