We therefore must forgive him – but not because he is guilty, but for allowing evil to touch our lives. But if we will lower our voices and patiently wait for God’s purposes to be fulfilled, then one day – and this is a guarantee – we will say that he has done all things well, even in what he permitted. He was never guilty in the first place, but because he sometimes appears to us to have been unfair, we must set him free before we can effectively move on in our lives.
