1. "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do."
I remember my Redeemer telling me in His Ancient Scrolls through Solomon:
"It is an honor for a man to cease from strife and keep aloof from it, but every fool will quarrel." Proverbs 20:3
This makes me realize:
People don't know what they are doing even if they plan out how to hurt me so just forgive them regardless.
By doing this I keep my emotions in check.
My Redeemer reminds me that vengeance belongs to Him not me.
Romans 12:19
By giving it over to my Redeemer it removes the guard of unforgiveness and bitterness that will ultimately destroy my life through anxiety.
(He also told me that this doesn't mean that a person is obligated to stay in an abusive situation verbally or physically. He said, to forgive, move on and do not accept the abuse). Matthew 18:15-17
My Redeemer also told me that sometimes we believe things that may or may not be true anyway like rumors, gossip, backbiting, etc... What if this and what if that? etc.
Then I remembered my Redeemer reminding me of what His Bond Slave Paul would say while in a Rat infested sewer jail in the book of Philippians of the His Greek Scrolls: "whatever is True think on these things!"
By thinking this way it will keep me from being emotional every time someone offends me.
- This Attitude keeps me on the right path removing bitterness and strife that comes from anxiety and starts with unforgiveness.
This Attitude gives me Peace as He said, "blessed are the Peacemakers for they shall be called the sons and daughters of God." Matt 5:8
- I Must pass on this Good News especially to those like me in bondage suffering with addictions caused by trying to escape the situations which cause anxiety.
