Most people are willing to give another person a “pass” for an accidental relationship breach. However, many people struggle with navigating the more nefarious, excruciating, and life altering fallout when they are the target of an intentional or malicious act of harm from someone in their intimate space.
How do I deal with that kind of breach with grace?
I have to turn to the scriptures to answer that. The strength to respond to a human act of malice, hatred, envy or spite requires supernatural strength. It necessitates a quiet confidence that comes from a place of understanding the higher law that governs all human beings.
Everything that you do returns a harvest to your life.
Our actions towards other human beings are a form of spiritual agriculture. If I sow thorns and I put thorns into the ground, I'm going to get a harvest of thorns. If I put tomatoes in the ground, I'm going to get a harvest of tomatoes. If you know me, then you know I want to plant mangoes. I want to plant my favorite fruit everywhere I go because I'm putting a demand and expectation of an abundant return of sweet, golden mangoes.
This is the higher universal law that governs all of us. When we are dealing with an intentional act of breach from a place of malice, hatred, envy— darkness—then you will need supernatural strength to respond with grace and leaving that matter in the hands of the universal law. And you know what?
You may not get a front row seat when that person receives the harvest of thorns that they planted when they maliciously wounded you. You may not be able to witness how it comes back to them 10 times worse than the way that they did it to you. You may not get the pleasure or the sense of justice by having all of the details.
But this law is absolute, and it does not fail. Sometimes we receive mercy, even when we act out of a place of darkness. Sometimes we don't get it back as harshly as we deal it out. And this is divine justice—mercy and kindness given to perfectly imperfect human beings. And if anything, when you are the person who has suffered an intentional breach, a breach from a place of darkness…
There is an opportunity, an invitation for you to grow and mature into a deeper revelation of love—the way a true hero loves. It is a very hard path. It is not for the faint of heart. But it is a very worthwhile adventure into depths of true love. It is accessible to those who are willing. But you cannot be afraid of appearing weak simply because you choose to be a person of forgiveness. When you make the conscious decision to be the person who extends mercy to others, you wield a powerful weapon that is understood by few but the truly powerful. The wise understand the amount of strength and depth of character that remains with the person who gives you mercy in response to your malicious breach.
Rather than becoming embittered, vengeful, or returning malice for malice, you become the adult who has matured beyond selfish, childish love. When a person has intentionally breached your relationship for the purpose of harming you from a place of hatred, envy, spite, or vengeance, you can choose to see them for who they truly are—emotionally undisciplined and child-like. That person is inviting you to the dark side where they have been arrested in their own development. And like a little kid who wants a guilty accomplice, they want you to become a person that responds from your immature, impulsive, and selfish nature.
The love that requires true courage is the type of love that is unassumingly powerful. It is far from weakness.
You are exercising the highest form of human strength that exists in the spiritual law. I know how tempting it is to become unforgiving. I know how irresistible resentment can be. I deeply understand how that type of pain can drive you to the point of bitterness, rage, and even hatred.
But if you would resist and trust the universal law…
If you are willing to leave it to the highest court of justice...
The highest power ---
And you choose forgiveness, mercy and you handle that breach with grace…
What the law promises as your reward is that you become one who has learned the highest virtue of meekness. This word is rarely taught correctly. Meekness, is simply the art of returning good for evil.
The meek shall inherit the earth.
There is nothing that will be denied you because you have activated one of the highest human abilities. Sure, it’s going to hurt.
Yes it's going to be hard.
Certainly, it's doable.
You do not have to go to the dark side. Forgiveness and mercy are a choice, not an emotion. You can handle that breach with grace. Then you can expect an abundance of peace, prosperity, and blessing because you chose grace over wrath.
Be blessed and encouraged.
