For the last 6 years, there has been so much going on in my life with ex's, mother in laws, kids, family etc. I am trying to do good and listen to the way that God wants us to be, I hold my tongue and just go with the flow not trying to get back at the people whom are hurting me or my family. Theres always that little voice that tells you to do something bad and it won't hurt nothing but I have even steered away from that one and I say to myself God please handle this. So I got to thinking does God take notes? I hope that he is and that the people causing all the hurt in my life will go away and just leave me alone so I can live with peace and not second guesses.

You've had some very good answers. I just want to add that if you keep drawing closer to God by spending time in prayer, reading the Bible, and keeping your thoughts on Him, these problems will begin to fade away and seem very small.

Friend, I know that at some point you will have victory over your enemies, but we do not know God's timetable. We also do not know what form that victory will take. You are growing and learning and will be beyond their pettiness. Rest assured, God does know what is going on, and what you are doing or not doing.

Well i think God Does Pay Attention to Every Human. As He Has Written the Destiny of Everyman. We Always Think That we are the one Who make our Destiny. Which is Absolutely Wrong. It,s God That Gave us Strength and ability so That we Could Reach our Destiny. God is the Cosmic Sorce of All Living Beings in the Galaxy. He Has Writtened Ever Being,s Destiny. But Also the Power to Change it Through HardWork.

dear Minerc,you ignore those negative voices...that sounds more like the enemy...If you will ask Gods help he will get you out of this awful situation...He does not work the way we think ,he does it in his time frame,just trust the Lord and he will hear you..It might be that he is trying to teach a few lessons in this situation..Remember the scripture "Be Still and know that I am God!" he hears everything you ask and if you ask anything in his name believing than he will do it..Stay strong sister I can assure you things will get better,but sometimes we must wait,we do not always see clearly,because we look through a glass darkly but God knows,so just put your trust in him....

Isn't it wonderful to live in peace and be happy? Instead of sweating the small stuff,live your life peacefully by surrendering everything to God. He knows everything that we do and will reward us when we get to meet Him.

I would say to that of course he takes notes. One thing we fail to realize is how big God is and therefore how much he can do. Don't get discouraged that your timing isn't his. Remember he handles things differently and what we have to trust is that no matter what, it is for our best interest. He says that in Romans. You are important to Him, if you weren't, He wouldn't have sacrificed his son (if you have a child, I'm sure you know how hard that would be). So trust him and he has made you head of your household. As long as it is not out of anger and with the right heart, stand up for your family. You are the head and the protector. God didn't make men to be passive...Adam got a little confused on that when he watched Eve eat that apple). You were meant to guide your family as you follow Christ.

I would like to think that he is taking notes but I am sure he just has a very good memory. I like to think that the old aditive is right. What goes around comes around. I would hope that people who wrong others get punished in the end. I am not sure that this will even happen but it is a nice thought though.

It's difficult when you're trying to live your own life the best you know how and other people (especially family) keep upsetting the apple cart. You can't exactly run away from then although I did. Just keep talking to our lord and ask him for knowledge, understanding and wisdom. I have a good friend who counts to 10 says a "please help me" Lord then jumps into the fray. Hopefully he will guide you to say the correct thing. I feel for you friend.I think you have way too much on your plate sometimes. You are a very strong person. Remember that. ((((minerc))))

Well it does says in the bible that god has a book of remembrance in heaven. I can not think of the book but it is listed in one of the post I made. If you to look it up it is under Name the 5 book in heaven under my profile. So I think He does keep a record, but if you ask for forgiveness of something you have done wrong then I believe it is erased from the book.

Dear minerc, It is highly unlikey that God takes notes or does anything like that. However, one thing is for sure. In life a good deed always gets reciprocated by some means or the other. I mean things even out over a period of time. As for those who have been giving you a bad time, the law of averages will catch up with them. However, taking a totally submissiv attitude in life is not the correct way to deal with your troubled times and trouble makers. Identify your strengths and exploit them to the hilt, identify your weak areas and try to avoid them. Above all, fight it out. No way should you get cowed down. Use tact ,but dont be head strong. Remember, do not avoid trouble just because you fear retribution. Whatever you do in life, at the end of the day, you should have a clear conscience and a clean heart. What has to be done has to be done. And lastly, remember the old adage"Tough times do not last, Tough people do" ---- swapna

i dont think God needs to take notes since he already knows whats going to happen but i'm sure he knows you are striving to turn the other cheek and setting a good example for your family...hang in there and do what you know is the right thing...just keep praying and asking God to help these people..they must be pretty unhappy to want to hurt others in that way...good luck i'll say a prayer for you and yours

In my family, we've always been taught that God KNOWS everything. He knows your thoughts, your plans, your likes, dislikes, your favorite ice cream , your type of men or women. In short, EVERYTHING. So, with that in mind, live in the comfort of knowing that God also KNOWS every little good thing that you've done. Be it planting a tree to help clean the air to helping an old lady cross the street or simply not giving someone annoying the finger. So there, I suppose God does take notes. Just not literally on paper.

I think he does. Not when you might think he should pay them back but eventually things come around. Just like with my ex husband. Him and his new wife fight all the time.
