To resist the temptation to fight back and exact revenge, we must be prepared to carry the cross of suffering. Forgiveness is not a theoretical act. It comes with a huge price tag for the forgiver. To be a blessing in forgiving an offender, the victim will have to endure injury and pay associated costs that very often appear to be humanly unbearable…and they are.
Here’s where a Kingdom mystery unfolds. The forgiver can lay off these “unbearables” on Christ Himself. Our pain, insults and grief are His! If we suffer for His Name’s sake, the suffering is His, for we simply represent Him. This is why He invites us to cast our burdens upon Him – our own burden of sin and the results from sinful actions of others. Matthew 11:28 reads, “Come to me all you who are weary and are heavy laden and I will give you rest”.

Unafraid of technology, the Vraeyda Client embraces new trends, while maintaining personal vision, with Vraeyda helping to ease in new content.
Our personal projects are dedicated to imaginative, speculative fiction with cross-media platforms. We're here to tell fantastic stories in film, literature, graphic novels and audiobooks to reach across markets and become truly multimedia.

At this point, I recalled what I had shared a week earlier with Medical Students at a neuroanatomy class. I had read out a newspaper caption “If only the patient had been brought in four minutes earlier or four minutes later” and had asked them to interpret. I was so pleased when one of them said it meant the patient was brain dead: If the patient had been brought in four minutes earlier, there would have been chance of saving him. If he had been brought four minutes later, the patient would have been dead and nothing further could be done to bring him or her back to life. In the case in this article, the patient had been brought in at the time the brain had suffered severe lack of oxygen long enough to damage its neurons permanently.
Here I was faced with a real life situation and not a newspaper story. The neuroanatomy lesson had become practical. The patient involved was my mother and the first attending physician me. Although she was literally dead at the time we arrived at the hospital, more time had been wasted to resuscitate her in the period between getting and trolley and sending her to the ICU as well as in looking for the emergency team.
Whilst we were managing Mom, my mind also went to the statement I had made the night before regarding the Devil. I had said I would hit him hard with a stick to knock him out if I met him. Here was I now being mocked and taunted. He, rather, was hitting me hard, taking the life of my Mom away prematurely and under circumstances that would make me feel terrible. Mom would not have been in this situation if I had read the literature on the drug and if I had asked about contraindications at the Clinic at Cape Coast.
