I think I am suppose to help her. I think I am suppose to show her Gods grace by first forgiving her while she knows that I know what she said. And second by helping her move as was planned even though she did me wrong. She knows that I stand for God. But as soon as I am done helping her move I am so done with this person. I am just sorry for her because I know that God will heap coals of fire onto her head. I also would imagine he isn't so happy that she openly rejected His salvation.
Thanks Ellie. Thanks everyone for continued prayers over my situation. God Bless Ya!

i've gone through the same experience like you. Don't worry at all about this because in my experience God will let the lie doesn't hold water at all. What your potential boss look at is YOU and NOT what he/she HEARD about you. During your interview, show yourself completely, don't hide anything and your potential boss will see the real you and appreciate your honesty and will offer you the job-speaking from my own experience.

I have to say, I'm with Shekiniah on this one--I feel it's a good 'move' on your part. ;)

The burning coals thing is difficult, but this is what I was taught about it.
The words appear in Romans (12:20) and Paul is quoting Psalm 25:21-22. Both chapters speak to how we should live with one another.

I have heard it said that the intention is to show kindness to your enemy to stir up the flame of love for the Lord in her heart. But I think that the meaning of the Hebrew idiom is more the idea of the way the ancients did things.

Fire was essential to life. When you went to bed, you banked the fire, and got up in the night to stir the coals so the fire wouldn't go out. If it was really cold, maybe you had to do this every couple of hours. If you didn't, the fire went out, and kindling a new fire wasn't easy, so you would take a large bowl, carried on the head, to try to get hot, burning coals from the nearest neighbor. If you gave coals to someone, you put burning (not dead) coals on their head. If you gave generously, you 'heaped' the coals.
It's consistent with grace--you give your enemy what she needs, but does not deserve.
In so doing, you lavish them with what they have not earned, as the Lord does for us many times a day. And you leave her in God's hands--you don't attempt to take vengeance yourself, but leave judgement to the Lord, as is fitting for His child.

It's not about 'killing her with kindness'. It's more about lavishing her with love. There is a measure of helping her to realize how unjust she is, and perhaps she will realize the enormity of her error and it will stir her to repentance for it.
But I think it's mostly about loving your enemy. No hypocrisy, no ill will meant, just showing God's love with a sincere heart, as I know you mean it, Bekah. :)
You, as Christ's ambassador, give her help and love when she least deserves it, just as God did when redeeming us, and as He does with us over and over after that. Maybe she will get a better picture of Him through you! ♥
