Dear Sweet Sugar,

I have to tell you a little bit about this story of mine. I want you to know - really, really know - that God can give better revenge (He calls it justice) than we could ever dream up for our enemies.

When I was in the Air Force in my early 20's, I had a boss who really went out of his way to harrass me & make my life miserable. There was no justification for what this man did to me.

Shortly before I left the service, God allowed me to see what happened to this man. Believe me, he got what he deserved and then some. The fact that I was allowed to witness it is nothing short of a miracle.

We started out on opposite sides of the world and ended up in the same place at the same time. A huge place, where the odds of us even meeting were astronomical.

I managed to forgive that man and even pray for him - awful as he was to me - because it was just about like the Lord speaking in my ear, "See, you don't have to worry about those who persecute my children. I have ways of dealing with them that are far better than your ways."

And to this day, I find it much easier to 'let things go' and let God sort it out for me. I hope my little story can give you some peace. Your Friend Always -
