God Will Recompense
“For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution” (Hebrews 2:2).
Some versions states that every transgression will receive a just recompense. This is why God warns us not to take vengeance and to forgive when others wrong us. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord”” (Romans 12:19).
In some instances, recompense relates to being given compensation or money as a reward because you have suffered or been wronged by someone. So on the one hand God is saying don’t render evil for evil and do not try to pay back people who have caused you harm. This is because when God decides to pay them back even you will feel sorry for them. On the other hand God is also saying that when we forgive and let go of hurts done to us by others then he will give us a reward.
I believe that this is our year of recompense for areas where we have suffered harm. “We have sown in many tears but praise God that those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy” (Psalm 126:5)!
We have to maintain hope, trust and confidence in God that he saw our suffering and afflictions and that this was not in vain. His word cannot go back to him void and we believe that God will restore that which was stolen and lost. We surrender our worries and cares to him and lift our eyes to him with expectancy. Our God rewards those of us who continue to seek him earnestly.

I am a trained Social Worker who currently provides professional leadership on a programme to support Social Work students and Newly Qualified Social Workers entering the Social Work Profession.
Born and raised in Jamaica in a Christian family where my father is an ordained Pastor and Deacon who has served for over 50 years in the ministry. My father is also a trained musician and our family can be described as a musical family. I grew up in a small farming community in St. Peter’s, St. Andrew and my parents also have a small farm.
I credit my gift of writing to my father who I watched and listened to over the years as he wrote sermons, poems and other recitals in his capacity in ministry. English has always been an easy subject for me and over the years I have developed an increased interest in writing.
I am a Trainer, I sing and have a passion for worship, the spoken word and the free flow of the prophetic anointing. I am married to my best friend Andrew Christopher Young who is an advanced Musician and whose music you can find on YouTube and Facebook. I am a trained Coach and Mentor and I love experimenting with food so I love cooking. I enjoy trying cultural dishes from across the world and I view food as an entry into cultures and languages.
