Luke 6:27-36
27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
The reason why i knew the person who stole my phone is Lastri was because his friend smsed me saying, "Lastri?" When the friend realised im not "Lastri" and when i asked if "Lastri" was the one who stole my phone, he did not reply.
I know it sounds crazy but i smsed the friend to tell "Lastri" that i forgave him.
I was really angry but then, i thought of my aunt. She had injured herself a few days back and was hospitalised. When i called her, she kept asking about my well being and my Christian life when i should be asking about her. She broke a bone and cant even take painkillers. In agony, she asked about me. And in the past, i did a lot of things that saddened her. I kept hurting her daughter when i was young.
I was reminded how selfless she is and that she had the heart to forgive me.
Besides, there's no use for me to be angry. What good would it do me to hate on someone that i dont even know? I wont get my phone back anyway.
Ephesians 4:32 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
