Donna, I agree—a very unpleasant job. So why would I do it when God has covered my debt and needs?

We do become bill collectors when we refuse to forgive and extend the grace that was exended to us through Christ.

Jerralea, no it isn’t. We suffer, not the one who wronged us.

Barbara, yes. I don’t want to live with the torturers!

Debbie, you put this in a way I had not considered: “If you’ve ever harbored bitterness in your heart, you’ve met the torturers. Every time you see or think of the one you resent, you are tortured.”

This is the truth! Harboring bitterness is simply not worth it.

And what a vivid analogy that when we don’t accept grace, we become bill collectors of things that others can’t pay and that we’re indeed delivered to torturers. How we need to receive His grace and then extend it to others.
