Summary:

In today’s episode, we respond to a heartfelt email from a listener named Angela, who is grappling with the pain and betrayal caused by her ex-husband. Angela asks, “When will the Lord bring justice for all the pain my ex-husband caused me?” This question resonates deeply with many who struggle with injustices experienced during divorce, especially when lies and deception leave lingering wounds.

We explore the challenge between desiring justice and trusting God's timing. While betrayal hurts, we discuss how God’s justice may not always align with our timeline or expectations. We reflect on the challenge of surrendering our right to vengeance and trusting that God will expose what needs to be revealed in His perfect way.

Key Takeaways:

1. Justice on God's Timeline: The justice we seek may not happen immediately, but God promises that every hidden thing will be brought to light (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).
2. Letting Go of Revenge: It’s not our role to expose the sins of others publicly; instead, we must trust God to reveal the truth in His time (Romans 12:19).
3. God's Grace for All: God's mercy extends not only to us but also to those who hurt us, which can be difficult to accept but essential for healing.
4. Confession with Caution: While sharing our pain is important, it should be done with trusted individuals who can hold space for our emotions and encourage us to release the burden at the cross.
5. Words Matter: The power of our words over ourselves and others should align with God's truth, fostering healing rather than bitterness.

Encouragement:

When the desire for justice feels overwhelming, remember that God sees every wound and betrayal. His justice brings not only correction but also redemption and healing. Trusting Him requires surrendering your pain and allowing His perfect will to unfold.
