Double for your trouble

When Job prayed for His friends, the Lord restored His fortunes.m in fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before! (Job 42:10 NLT)

Job went through all the tragedies & suffering with his "friends" not really being his friends.  Before he was restored, God wanted Job to sow forgiveness & let go of the hurt.  Once he did that, he was restored double.  Satan will tell you that you have a right to hold on to what someone has done to you. God will tell you He wants to bless you but you have to let go of it.  It's not up to you to deal with people who have hurt you anyway.  Allow God to restore what has been taken from you.  Don't let yourself get hung up on people who have hurt you.  Keep focused on living as God wants you to & allow Him to work out the rest.  The greater the struggle, the greater the payback.  So when the struggles & the hurts come don't focus on them, focus on the payback.  If you're Gods child, He released you from your debt so how can you hold on to someone else's debt.  Think double for your trouble!
