Judas’ Test…

Betrayal is one of the most difficult tests that we will ever face in life, because it involves being wounded by someone we trust.

It’s hard not to become bitter when a friend or family member wounds us. It takes a lot of Christ- like grace to forgive a traitor.

The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies, it comes from those you trust the most; for every betrayal begins with a trust.

You may have probably faced the Judas test yourself. The Judas’ kiss stings worse than a slap across the face. But are we willing to forgive the Judases in our lives?

Because when we refuse to forgive, we risk infecting others with a “bitter root” of resentment and in so doing we put ourselves and the offending party in bondage.

Because we are all one, when we forgive others we forgive ourselves, which is the first step in the healing process…

So lose them and let them go that you might also receive your freedom! Don’t cross over the new year with the same story.

Happy Sunday!
