The vengeance of Truth

Love turns the other cheek so the truth can be made clear to heavenly bodies.

But time continues. And condemnation increases for those who deny the truth. And the division becomes a vast canyon, that neither side can traverse. A separation of wheat and chaff.

Anger.

When one soul reaches out a hand in hope and the others soul slaps it away defensively. What can there be except anger and loss. The only answer for those who are loving is forgiveness, and the only answer for those who are not loving is damnation.

To forgive in sincerity replaces anger and resentment with peace and joy. It is freeing to be forgiving, it is spiritual. To forgive is unnatural, unworldly, and selfless in a selfish design. To forgive sincerely, does not accept the nature of darkness; no, to forgive sincerely is of loving purpose, shedding light where there is none.

Hurt.

When we forgive, we ready ourselves for more injustice. That is what it means to turn the other cheek. As those who are selfish see forgiveness as weakness. But submitting ourselves to suffering for the sake of forgiveness, shows the Father the value we put in loving. Without understanding love is holy, how can we sincerely commit to suffering intentionally. How great an example was Jesus, how great a expression of love he made. He who suffered first for us, and we who suffer to commit to the truth as part of his body of authority.

Abandoned.

Before we knew the Truth of Love, we also we a active part in committing acts against others to provide ourselves with what we desired. We watched others be judged and condemned by human standards. We gained from conflict, we planned to deceive, we were subversive, full of lies that secured our place among the worldly. But now that we have repented this existence of spiritual poverty, we ourselves stand facing those who remain in that state. They abandon us, and the world itself no longer provides us with opportunity within it. We are alien to our previous self, sheep among wolves.

Restraint.

As years pass, the wounds of suffering do not heal. They are constantly re-opened and left sensitive. Forgiveness becomes like breathing, and we see more and more of the differences between the worldly and our place in the Truth. We get cold hearts, we become bitter and discontented with the constant, never ending bombardment of wickedness. So we turn inward, and lean harder on our faith. We pray constantly,  our prayer more for our enemy to be blessed than ourselves to be healed. Our strength is only in the truth, and that strength is made perfect in our weakness.

Beacons.

The key in all this, is what we do not see. The works of God in our enemy, as much as the building up of our faith. We do not see or know how our forgiveness effects those who are witness to the peace-loving nature that describes itself through our faithfulness. Our suffering and our humble turning of the other cheek, is a power that the worldly do no understand. And it acts as a beacon, a light in their dark reasoning. A light that remains in opposition to all they know. They still crucify, they still commit themselves against us. But what came through us they are witness to.

Every knee shall bow.

There is a vengeance set aside for those who deny the presence of love within them. The authority of the truth is not there to condemn, it is there to honor the will of love. Love does not hate, love seeks to be merciful to all. Vengeance in the context of Truth is, the changing of hearts from blindness to full sight. So even the most hardened heart will be brought to confess that the authority of love is above all knowledge of good and evil. The vengeance of Truth is hope that leads all to faithfulness in Love.

Amen. Amen. Amen.
