Those who hurt you

"Those who hurt you" By Diane Webb

II Timothy 2: 3—"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"

Eventually all deceivers will be exposed. What has been hidden and kept in secret will be revealed. Justice will prevail. You need not worry about those who seem to have gotten away with evil. Those who have done wrong and seem to prosper will, in time, be shown for what they truly are. Truth will be evident and all lies will be uncovered. Do not look back on your life and think "they got away with it". Anyone who has lived outside the will of God has not gotten away with anything. God knows each and every hurt, pain, and lie inflicted on you by others. Those others will answer to your Father in due time. It may not be obvious but each one who has hurt you and has not repented is already reaping the consequences. For many, it seems they are not suffering consequences and seem to be prospering instead. Outside appearances can be deceptive. Inside, no one without God is at peace or fully content with their life. Take comfort in knowing evil against you will not go unnoticed or unpunished. All people will account for their choices and actions. Leave these things to your Father and fret not.

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray for those who have hurt and betrayed me. I pray each and every one will be saved. Open their hearts, Lord, to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Let them feel your unbounded love and accept Jesus into their hearts and lives. I pray this in Jesus' name, Amen.
