"The BLOG"

Suppose you are sufing the net one day and you come across a blog. Now there are thousands and thousands of blogs out there, but suppose this one stands out because it is aimed toward you or someone you love. This is not a positive blog in any way and is actually designed to take a stab at you or your loved one and make you or them feel badly. The worst part this blog does not speak the truth and is actually based on a lie. What do you do? Well of course you contact that person and ask that it please be removed. The response you get is just what you expected and they refuse. Now what? There are 2 responses to look at:

1. Human nature, which is evil and comes from Satan says to get even go after them, if they can post lies well you can certainly do the same, drag them down low as possible, make them feel the pain they have caused you.

----OR----

2. The Godly side, which is based on what God's word says and to sit back and be patient, the TRUTH will come out. You are not the judge nor are you the jury. This is God's place and should be given to him. Give the "blog" or what ever hurt you to God and let him deal with the justice from his end. Now once you give it to him, you have to leave it with him and allow him to do His magnificant work.

I know I know, this is a very hard thing to do especially with Satan sitting on your shoulder saying your wrong and getting even would feel so much better. At this time it is important to push Satan off your shoulder in Jesus' name and listen to what God wants out of this. Ask yourself and its ok to say it out loud. "who said that?" Are the feelings of revenge and hate from God or from Satan. Remember, that no matter how badly you feel about this person, God loves them and wants to save them and perhaps it is in God's plan to use their lie to aid in turning them around to see the truth, we just don't know. What we can do is pray daily for this individual and let God do things in His own way and on His own time.

Now, this is based on a true event that happened. You see my husband had a blog posted about him that was negative and it really stings because it is all lies. So, I'll be taking my own advice and I'll be giving it over to God as of this moment. I forgive this individual for posting the lies and refusing to remove it and at this time I'll not be giving the posting address as it is not really appropriate, but God knows exactly what it is and what was said and the individual if they read this know who they are too! So to them I say this simple fact. I FORGIVE YOU S.L. I FORGIVE THE LIES YOU CONTINUE TO TELL AND I HAVE GIVEN IT OVER TO GOD. I PRAY GOD WILL BE ABLE TO REACH YOU IN A WAY THAT ONLY HE CAN AND THAT ONE DAY YOU WILL DELETE THE LIES AND CEASE TO TELLING THEM. I PRAY THAT YOU WILL BE RELEASED FROM YOUR BONDAGE AND CHAINS OF LIES AND HALF TRUTHS. I PRAY YOU WILL BE FREED!! In Jesus Amen!!!!

There doesn't that feel better?
