Question Title Posted By Question Date
Do evildoers ever reap what they sow? Grace Tuesday, April 15, 2008

Question:

Thank you so much for having this site.

I would like to ask a question and it may sound strange. But, someone did evil on me years ago and through God and the help of this site and the prayers you offer. I was able to get my life back in order. There was a girl and her mother that did evil to me, all because she wanted the guy I was dating.

She eventually married him and as a matter of fact they are still married. She has everything she always wanted, including the nice home, car and kids.

But, my life was in disarray after they did that stuff to me. I tried to commit suicide, I dropped out of college, basically my life was in ruins for years. They actually bragged about doing evil to me and laughed at me because of the things that were happening in my life at that time.

I eventually found your site and started the prayers. Afterwards, I went back to college and graduated!

But, my question is...will they ever realize that they were wrong for doing evil to me? Will they always have everything they want, example.. money, home, cars? It makes it look like doing evil has paid off for her. I just don't understand it.

I know the bible says things about reaping and sowing. But, it looks like she is getting away with all the wrongdoing that she has done. While I've suffered and in some cases I feel like I'm still suffering because of the things that she did to me. I'm still single after all these years and I can't seem to keep a serious relationship. I'll date someone for a while and he'll decides he doesn't want a relationship any longer and break it off with me. I just don't understand. Could the spell still be on my life? I'm just confused.

I'm so sorry that this is so long. But, I really in need of help and thank you in advance for the answer to my questions.

Dear Grace:

I apologize for taking so long to respond.

I praise God that this site was helpful to you and helped you to get on with your life.

We need to forgive those who have hurt us. But forgiving them does not mean they are "off the hook." Those who hurt us are still on God's "hook". Forgiving is about letting ourselves off the hook and getting on with our lives. It sounds like you are doing that.

But, do not get into comparisons of their life and yours. None of us can never make comparisons like that anyway. There are millions of reasons why some people seem to succeed in life and others don't.

However, Grace, remember the words of Jesus when he said that what good is it to gain the whole world and lose your soul.

God is a God of love and Justice. Justice requires that ALL of us will get what is coming to us. What goes around, comes around.

The people who hurt you will be held accountable before God. They may not look like they are suffering now, but in the next life they will have to confront what they did -- as will all will have to do.

As for your own suffering, do not be sad about it. You are greatly privileged. You have the opportunity to join your suffering with the suffering of Christ; to share in His suffering. That is a great privilege. In addition, you can offer up your suffering for the salvation of these people who hurt you.

Jesus said we must bless those who curse us; love those who persecute us. You need to bless these people, pray for them, even use your own suffering to offer to God on their behalf.

This may be hard to do from an emotional point-of-view, but you need to do it anyway. Do it because it is the right thing to do even though you may not feel it right now. The emotions will come later. God will honor you for your sacrifice.

Do not lament their lives. They will be held accountable for every little thing they did to you.

Let go and let God take care of them. Move on with you live and pay them no nevermind (as we say in the Midwest).

God bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
