The Forgiven Thief
A delightful and slightly eccentric friend of mine often writes letters to the local rag to stir things up for Christianity. He has had death threats, but not for a while. His latest letter was a bit different:
To the person or persons who entered my home on the night of 4.11.08 after midnight and stole my wallet and mobile phone, and for some reason a pair of jeans (all done in my bedroom whilst I slept) I just want to say you wasted your time for you can have it all.
Do you think doing that affects me? I have complete peace and assurance in all things from the Lord, because all things work together for good to those who love the Lord, to those who are the called ones according to His purpose; and I have learnt to be anxious over nothing.
Sure, I had to make a few calls to cancel cards and mobile and attend to other matters, like getting another driver’s licence. But those things were just a matter of routine and make life interesting. And thanks for not waking me up for I was somewhat tired that night. Oh, and I forgive your sin against me in the name of the Lord Yeshua, who is the messiah and the Son of God. I have committed you into His hands.
Drop in for a cuppa tea some time.
