Listen Up, Thief!

I hate theft. My brand new iPhone 3GS was stolen last month along with pictures and other important personal items. Yeah, I know. Totally not cool.

Let me just say that if you're reading this and you stole my phone, it makes me wonder if you needed it for the money to feed your poor, hungry family because this down economy has left you without a job or something unfortunate like that. I really hope it helped. But if you didn't need it for the money and you're enjoying my iPhone all the while singing, "Finders keepers, losers weepers..." I still hope the best for you. I wasn't quite thinking that at first. In fact, I hoped every time you looked at the phone you would be struck with horrible guilt and maybe a disgusting bout of bowel issues.

But no more. It's taken me a month to forgive you, but here I am. I'm choosing to move on with my life because being mad about a phone isn't worth it. And though you may not be aware of it, I think perhaps you could use some forgiveness in your life just as I have. But let me also say that as a daughter of the King, it is my joy to forgive:

Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. Colossians 3: 12-14
