FORGIVENESS SHOULD BE A 2-WAY STREET. AT LEAST IT 'SHOULD'

WHATTA YA DO WITH A JACKASS?
There must be a limit to your contrition.

#1. Spurned in trying to make amends with another, move on.

#2. The Lord tells us to forgive, but forgiveness needs be two-way.

#3. When best efforts fall on deaf ears and hard hearts; move on.

#4. Let’s call him person “Marky”.

#5. He’s ‘holier than thou’ despite his myriad and glaring faults.

#6. He believes he’s spiritually/academically superior to everyone.

#7. He’s not. He lacks experience that turns boys into men.

#8. He’s spiritually and emotionally in early adolescence.

#9. Only challenge, hardship, adversity can boys become men.

#10. Mark is denied these as family still feeds/clothes/houses him.

#11. He’s known to others as “Marky” or “Mama’s Boy”.

#12. Long turning the other cheek, let God deal with little Marky.

#13. Praying for him is mandatory, lest you fall to his level.

#14. He lacks spiritual/emotional growth needed for the afterlife.

#15. Don’t let him poison you. His poison can kill your spirit!

#16. “The tree that grows in the wind grows strongest.”

#17. And the tree that grows in shelter is grows weakest.

#18. Pray for the ‘Mark’ in your life. You’ve done your best.

Divorce this spiritual juvenile delinquent and leave him to the Lord.
