EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
Scripture says, “When a man or woman wrongs another in any way and so is unfaithful to the Lord, that person is guilty and must confess the sin he has committed. He must make full restitution for his wrong, add 1/5 to it and give it all to the person he is wronged.” (Numbers 5:6 -7)
Wow!
Many of us have experienced the pain of being wronged in some way. There is no adequate compensation for the pain we suffer from it, and it really hurts.
God clearly shows confession, and saying “I’m sorry” includes restitution. There is an action here in this scripture. Please remember this.
Unfortunately, justice is not always served in this imperfect world we live in, and no excuses can be made for others,  but we “are” responsible for our own actions. Own up to them, no matter what. Be honorable.
We, as women who serve God, must always do what is right in every situation!
Please make sure you have not intentionally wronged another and if you have, ask God to reveal it to you and make it right in every way.
The joy and freedom that come from having a clean conscience will lead you to a new level of intimacy with God. You can never stay on the run when you try with all your heart to do the right thing. God will intervene and help you. Take the first step; please don’t put it off.
