A bit of wisdom.

Notes from a minister.

I’d like to remind people that if you cannot keep your marital vows, then what evidence do you have that you can keep your word in anything?

This isn’t to condemn divorced people, it is a reminder to all people that your word is the first and last thing that most other people will remember of you. Make your words count.

Be slow to anger and fast to forgive, as your mental state will impact your words.

Doing wrong is not the worst part of your error. The worst part if your error is failing to correct your error, repent for your failure, learn from your mistake that you don’t repeat. Mostly, be straight forward in making sure you have been forgiven.

Do not let your heart be hardened when someone has unjustly harmed you, your family, your property. The distance between saint and sinner is a thin line of wisdom. Don’t take that opportunity to be a saint and use it to be a sinner.

If someone has labored, and fought themselves, to approach you for forgiveness, either grant it, or explain what they can do to make you whole.

Remember, the Hebraic law of eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, is maximum penalty, not minimum or vengeance. You are not God, vengeance is His, not yours. Let Yeshua judge at His time, so that you won’t need to be at your time.
