The Stolen Ring

(1/4) > >>

larissa4676:
Today my wedding ring was stolen from me. It's doesn't bother me that the 2.5 carats is gone. Nor the fact that I never got insurance. I'm not too down that all my hubby's work and time spent trying to pay for that ring was meaningless. Would you like to know the only things that bothers me?

It was stolen by someone I love and trusted. Somebody. Anybody. Will you stand with me in prayer that I won't hold anger, resentment, or bitterness towards the person who took it and that I won't beat myself up for not putting it away before they visited.

Thanks.

Larissa

I feel for yor loss but it could be worse...

My first income tax return I designed and had a pair of diamond earings made more than  20 yrs ago.

They had screw backs and I recently took them out because of reccurrent ear infections when I had to irrigate them twice daily.I cleaned them and wrapped them up in a papertowels and placed them in a plastic bag and put them in my travel bag. I saw it regularly.

Well guess what they are gone, no thief....I must have mistakenly thrown them out, I have searched for them all over, even the garbage yuk.

Nothing worse than blaming yourself for stupidity, carelessness and then worrying that your brain is going. Now I do not have any "real" jewlery any more. Oh well, it serves God's purpose somehow...perhaps it was  a carnal stumbling block for me somehow.

It may be worse dealing with the betrayal of others, but self beating is not any better.

Betrayal is the one sin against us that is hardest to forgive! Could that be why God chose Judas to betray Jesus. He was a member of the "family" so to speak, person close to Jesus. Now that was planned by God and Jesus KNEW He would be betrayed, but everything is an example to us. Jesus never for one moment thought not to forgive Judas for the betrayal, Jesus even asked God to forgive those who crucified Him.

Jesus' heart of extreme forgiveness is a testament to His Father's heart of extreme forgiveness, Jesus did nothing that His Father didn't tell Him to do! That His Father's Glory might shine through to His children, Jesus suffered every kind of humiliation, extending forgiveness to all involved--down the centuries to us!

I'm not making light of your loss, I'm sorry. I just know that Jesus and the Father feel our hurts because they have experienced the same hurts.

Perhaps you can count this as a blessing.  God will forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.  This will be a big deposit in your forgiveness account!

My heart goes out to you.  I pray God grants and grows more Grace in you.
