Forgiveness: Does It Cancel Out Transgression? 2

(Part 2 from yesterday’s post)

Many in this nation are furious, and feel justified in being so. So, how do we solve an issue that has so many twists and turns that it’s hard to keep up with all that is going on? I believe it starts with us being willing to forgive the illegal aliens regardless of what takes place tomorrow. I also believe that we are to cry out for vindication, protection and justice with all of the illegality that is taking place.

We as a people have the right to cry out for justice and an enforcement of our legal rights. We have the right to protection from people that could come into this nation illegally with evil intent. I don’t think the majority of illegals are criminal . Most of them want to provide for their families, but there are many who come in that are criminal and have hurt our citizens without remorse.

Someone I’m close to used to work at Howard Industries. That person left before a major raid took place at Howard, which I’m very grateful for. The government rounded up over three hundred illegal aliens and there were quite a few that had criminal backgrounds. These people were working in our country without anyone knowing their background. That’s scary.

How do we bring a conclusion to the illegal alien issue. I think it will look a lot different than many might think. The biggest arsenal we have is forgiveness and prayer to our God. Our God believes in justice and that our laws must be obeyed. So, we need to cry out to him that we have a turn around in our government. People that will respect our laws and abide by them. We need to demand that they will uphold our laws and secure our borders, especially with the terrorist threats on the rise.

Forgiveness vs. transgression. I realized that I had to forgive in order to receive justice. It’s hard when we feel wronged and threatened within our own land. If we choose to do it God’s way, I’m certain we will see changes and results. Let us as a people be willing to forgive. Forgiveness releases us from bitterness and hatred. When we have forgiven our motives will be right.

There won’t be any easy solutions to this issue. Some are demanding all illegals be sent back to where they came from. Some are saying that if they’ve been here a certain amount of time, they should get to stay. Either way, our laws have been ignored and broken. Something needs to be done. Forgiveness releases the illegal aliens from our anger, but our laws still need to be upheld. I don’t think any man can find a reasonable solution. We need to get on our knee’s and seek God, then he will give us an answer. I believe he’s the only one that can.
