Since December, I've been robbed twice.
The first time I dutifully made a police report and nothing came of it.
The second time was much more serious; someone wearing a mask entered my home and was awaiting me upon my return home. They attempted to ambush me at gunpoint; they were after my debit card. I ran at the time, getting away from the gunman.
It took a few days to get over the shock of what happened.
The police had responded initially to help me regain my home.
After the second time I began my prayer life anew. I forgave the person who did this and I worked on my own reaction to what is happening in the world. I was so close to getting shot that it served as a wake up call for me.
The only thing I can say is that the hand of The Lord moved;
After about 3 months I ran into the gunman in a public place. I knew and he knew that I knew.
I told him that no one had been made the better person by being jailed. He had a second chance; I was not going to turn him in.
He cried.
I pray that his heart might be opened.
The measure that we meet out will be met unto us.
I had been forgiven long ago.
