God’s Job

So i have the Max Lucado daily devotional book, and sometimes i remember to read it.. then most of the time i forget.

but the other day i read one that really spoke to my heart. and i really wanted to share with you all.

this is what it says…

 

“Some of you are in the courtroom. The courtroom of complaint.

Some of you are rehashing the same hurt every chance you get with anyone who will listen.

For you, I have this question: Who made you God?

I don’t mean to be cocky, but why are you doing His work for Him?

“Vengeance is Mine,” God declared. ” I will repay” (Heb 10:30)

Judgement is God’s job. To assume otherwise is to assume God can’t do it.

Revenge is irreverent … To forgive someone is to display reverence.

Forgiveness is not saying that the one who hurt you was right. Forgiveness is stating that God is faithful and He will do what is right.”

 

 

 

i know i’m not the only person in the world who deals with this. but for some reason.. while i’m going through it, it definitely feels that way. and then God does this cool thing and reminds me that.. suprise! i’m wrong.

 

i’m only 21 years old and i already have a horrible habit of hanging on to my bitterness and hurts. things my family has done, my closest friends, my co workers.

 

God has really been teaching me that i’m not the judge. and i need to stop having these pity parties with everyone around me and just take it to HIM. because He knows better than anyone what i’ve gone through.

and i know that everything i will ever go through will always bring me closer to the Lord.. which is what i desire. and i know He does.
