I looked at my wallet this morning and my jaw hit the floor.

The BTC arrived in my wallet this morning. Bless the Most High!

I don't like dealing with Bitcoin - it sometimes takes a nerve racking amount of time to transfer from one place to another. I suspect the long "transfer time" is used to help pay off other contracts. This is a very bad policy.

Be Anxious for Nothing

I allowed myself to become anxious and distraught over this whole thing. It makes me appear neurotic and not a good witness for the goodness of God.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

I over-reacted.

I should not be so quick to declare a company a scam. I don't know if I will ever hold my bitcoin again that I sent to the wallet at TeraBox, but at least it's accounted for at this point. They didn't out-right steal it.

I am very sorry for any damage I may have caused unwittingly to TeraBox. I will update on how the service works and if I ever receive my funds back again. What a roller-coaster! I would not advise using TeraBox simply because of their lack of transparency. They are unlikely worthy of being called a scam.

I've been burned in the past by crypto-scams.

I invested in "Belly Rub Bank" and the owner @zeartul ran off with all the "investments". It was a rotten thing to do, but I forgave him for his actions.

I never recovered my "investment" to @bellyrubbank and it was a difficult lesson to learn. Maybe I didn't really learn from the experience. I'm far too trusting.

This did some damage to my psyche, I think. I've become too quick to call things scams, when that hasn't actually been proven out. I hope that TeraBox is NOT a scam, but I won't know until the funds are returned.

What should we do when we've been wronged?

What do we do when we've been transgressed? Stolen from? Bamboozled? Scammed?

We must forgive.

Having something valuable taken away is an almost painful experience, but I can only imagine the painful experience that God feels everyday when He watches His people transgress against Him. How often do we steal what is rightfully His? He created us, He made us in His image - yet we refuse to give Him our entire hearts. Even believers, when transgressed, has it in them to hold a grudge. To become angry at the transgressor. It's our flesh, it lashes out, becomes angry, vengeful.

I am guilty of transgressions so bad that should be killed by stones. But the Righteous King forgave me my transgressions. My life was saved and I was bought at a great price, a price paid by the King Himself! I have been redeemed for a purpose - to imitate the righteousness of my King and Savior.

Forgive us our debts
as we forgive those indebted to us

I confess that I have robbed God of that which is His. My WHOLE heart, my WHOLE mind, my WHOLE strength. Heal me OH FATHER, that I may Honor you as is fitting.

I forgive the people at Terabox.

The kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold was brought to him.
25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.
26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.
28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.
29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’
30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt.
31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.
32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to.
33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”

If I found my fellow servant who owes me 0.019 BTC, woe unto me if I demanded it back. God canceled my debt to him and I will forgive the debt of my fellow man.

BLESS THE MOST HIGH, MAY HIS NAME BE GLORIFIED AMONG THE NATIONS!
