‘GOD, WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO?’

That was me yesterday, desperately seeking God’s help on a situation that’s making your girl over here very ANGRY. It has stolen so much of my peace and joy, and I needed some advice from God Himself. I began reading my meditation book, He and I, but nothing there answered me. I then decided to read my book, Keep Calm, You’re Rolling With God, and believe it or not, I felt this was His answer:

“Father forgive them for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34). Is what I keep in mind whenever I’m tempted to be unforgiving towards anyone. If Jesus can ask God to forgive the people who nailed Him to a cross, I can certainly forgive those who wrong me in any way. “Be at peace with everyone.”

I said, Ok, God, I get it. Forgive. Can you believe, though, God even went as far as confirming that this is what He wanted me to do? He’s too much, let me tell ya! Minutes after reading about Jesus saying, “FATHER FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO,” I go to listen to Wayne Dyer’s podcast’s latest entitled ‘Let Go’ and here’s amazingly what he had to say to a caller who found herself carrying around lots of anger towards family members for years:

“I suggest you practice what one of the great teachers of all times, Jesus of Nazareth, on Golgotha, on the cross. There he was being crucified, probably the worst form of killing someone and his words were, “FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.” Wink! Wink!

Do you see how intimately God is involved in our lives? I desperately wanted to hear from Him, and He magically shows up through my book and Wayne Dyer with the same message: NIK, FORGIVE. What kind of love is this?!? God stoops down to my little life to guide me! I feel so much lighter, freer, happier, and focused on being an even better wife, mother and person, all for God’s glory. Phew! Others may hurt and disappoint us, but we can immediately shake them all off, hand them over to Him, and simply move forward in peace, joy, and love. God Himself will be our reward. Wink! Wink! HE DOESN’T DISAPPOINT!

Just saw my girls off to school in their soccer and basketball jerseys, which they must wear for the entire day whenever they have a game. I’m hoping to take my sons to support them leter. The blessings of God in action, baby!

God, May we have MANY opportunities to be pleasing to You. Amen.
