Offences Solution           It’s a serious thing to not forgive...    from your heart, which will produce action; Since Jesus payment did that for you;    where then is The Cross’ satisfaction?   Have I been offended?    Yes; Many times; But, I can’t just change my heart.    I can and I did when I paid for you; Don’t you think that it’s time that you start...    allowing My Love to become so much greater    and gain that brother for me? How many times, then must I forgive    such obvious travesty?   You won’t suffer the wrong;    You have a limit; I didn’t with you,    so you must forgive it.   Don’t let the truths    I’ve revealed to you, make you high-minded    in all that you do.   If your choice could be rather,    to suffer the wrong, (exactly what I did for you)    your power to believe would swing open all doors    so My treasury will flow unto you.                                                  Alright! I’ll for give it!    Are those just words? Did you follow My plan,    that I know you have heard?   Did you go to the brother    that offended you; follow My instructions    that I wrote to do? And, if he won’t hear you,    take another... All for the purpose    of gaining your brother?   Where do you think    Satan’s great bonfire gets the wood    to keep feeding the flame? Why do you think    these offences keep raging? Yet, you say    you are not to blame.   My simple instruction    would put out the fire; In the process, your heart    will be changed; Instead, your body    is greatly re-acting and it’s you that is suffering the pain.   Are these the steps, Lord,    that I didn’t apply, thinking instead    that I could deny... the wise things you wrote    so that I’d be protected; Yet, being afraid    it would be detected that I have refused    to do what You say’ Thinking I have    a much better way.   Well, you know what? I don’t!    Please help me today not put logs on the fire    and do ‘how’ You say.               If a statement is made,    or even an action, that’s offensive to me    and I want satisfaction; What if, instead,    I addressed the issue alone, with the one that offended?    Would this put out the fire before it got raging?    Would, in fact, this strife now be ended?    Reading in Matthew, Chapter Eighteen,    Your plan becomes clear to me; Thank-you, Father;    You’ve provided a way to stop Satan’s tragedy.                        And, not only that,    much more than I asked; More than even I thought;    In the process of walking the ‘how’ of instruction,    I know I just proved I’ve been bought.   Is this a rule and regulation,    I hear Satan scream in my ear. No! A perfect law of liberty    that’s giving him much to fear!   Cutting the chains    to The Winged White Horse, I’m thinking, is very great pleasure;    That horse is me; that horse is you;         Ready for the flight of our treasure!!!                                                              December 27th, 2005
