Thank you so very much for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ! And thank you for sharing your insights, dear kosta50!

betty boop:It seems to me God's justice is not to be had that cheaply. A truly penitent sinner is forgiven — but that does not cancel the sinner's obligation or restitution for wrongs caused by the sin. In other words, the Lord's Justice metes measure for measure. Thus, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."

I perceive that when we forgive and forget the trespasses against us, God likewise forgives us.

However, that does not mean there will not be others accusing us before Him, of trespasses against them.

I perceive how we react to those accusations is important. I, for one, will not attempt to justify or excuse myself before God - or return fire. And, in this life, I will attempt to cure whatever injuries I have caused simply because it is the right thing to do.

However, I also know that I cannot possibly undo my wrongs or make the injured parties whole. I cannot make it not be true.

So I shall accuse no one before God. And when the accuser makes his complaint against me, I shall be silent and instead rest in God's justice and promises.

Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors...

God's Name is I AM.
