In every job there is the same people. Different names but same personalities. The good. The bad. And the ugly like Judas. Judas put on a good face but Jesus knew long before hand what he was and still loved him.
Today I was sideswiped by a Judas persona who lives out on the fringes of my circle. And they said the meanest things! Seriously though these drive by attacks have ramped up since taking on the Jabez prayer. But the strategy of the evil one will not succeed!
And then the lesson of offense came to my thoughts just as I was contemplating becoming offended. I thought to God “nope nope nope! I am not! I am okay! Of course I will forgive them, I don’t have to like them, I don’t have to live with them, I can do this because I have Jesus who takes care of me.”
Instant inner peace. Outer peace was still a little sketchy but inner peace was there.
And just then! I received a text from their counterpart from my inner circle who did a driveby hi! Just because. Now thats a God move!!
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” Genesis 50:20
Yes, He redirected my focus ! Thank you Jesus!
And then evil showed itself again determined to not be ignored and the Judas situation increased. And again I received another call, this time from my granddaughter. 😀
So with that, my beloved and I removed ourselves to the hot tub. It was warm, and relaxing and two bright red cardinals flew right over our heads. Oh so beautiful! What a treat! Thank you Jesus!!
And we prayed for our Judas and his family good things and good blessings. Its in the job description.
