(GOD) … was amazed that there was no one to intercede [on behalf of truth and right]; (Isa 59:16)

There was a time when my business was growing exponentially and I ended up taking on a bunch of guys to help fill the gaps.

Long story short – a few of them got together and through incessant gossiping, undermining and not fulfilling their roles, really hurt me and the business financially. So much so that when I found out what they'd done it took me three whole weeks to even THINK to forgive them - and that was with GOD on my case every day/ hour/ minute/ second/ millisecond …!

The thing is, I didn’t want to forgive (or intercede) for them – actually, my Italian side just wanted vengeance!

Then one day as I was reading the Bible, I came to the part where Judas betrayed Jesus and I distinctly I heard a voice in my heart say: “You don’t really want it to end this way for them to, do you?”

Anyway, everything got turned around when GOD showed me how they'd been specifically used to hurt me and everyone else in the business, and this turned everything around. So much so that it became a natural thing to forgive them and want to see them set free - to intercede for them!

Lord, please open our eyes to those who are just being used as the cat's paw and help to set them free – AS WE HAVE BEEN. Amen.
