Enjoyed your article – but – is there somewhere in the bible which states a time span of giving someone 7 years to pay money owed, then, if it doesn’t happen, the debt is forgiven? I have this idea in my head from my child hood, so it might just be something I have miss understood and I would like to know for sure.

Thanks and God bless – Glennis.

I loved this post and the comments but you should also know I do not consider myself any religion but the way that we handle things on this earth fascinates me and this was so kind and gentle not to mention how difficult in these economic times to accomplish.I am in awe and thinking the sharing of this idea is terrific

This was a good reminder to me! Thanks for sharing God’s Word and how He’s working in your life. Striving to become more like Him is what it’s all about but we forget sometimes….

@Tobey
Yea, I don’t just write this stuff to vent – I write with the intention that God will use my experiences (good and bad) to help others. So I am glad that the article found you at the right time!

This post couldn’t have come at a better time. My husband and I have been struggling with a similar issue but ours involves family. We were just discussing it yesterday evening! I believe your story is God’s way of telling us something. Thanks so much.

I am confident that obeying God’s Word will always yield the best result – even if I don’t see it right away.

Yes, I know this in my head, but I have such a ahrd time practicing it! Thank you for your witness.

I hate this happened to you. I had to do a similar thing early in my life. I had money stolen by a friend but lacked evidence to catch him. I just let it go.

Thank you for sharing a witness of incredible patience and forgiveness! It would be much easier to hold onto a grudge and seek “vindication” for the wrong that was done to you. However, as you have heard from God, it really is best to forgive in these situations and move on with your life. The time and energy spent worrying and fuming about your lame advertiser could be much better spent writing new content and wooing an even better client.

And hopefully the new one will pay you!
