The penalty used to be death. All the poverty, suffering and death it causes, moderate to long term. We are starting to see more of those effects.

Isaac made peace with his enemies and then his servants struck water. Water is often a metaphor for God's Spirit: One lesson we might derive from this is that forgiveness invites God's Spirit, while bitterness and unforgiveness hinders the action of the Spirit in our lives.
Genesis 26:31-32
SMALL STRAWS by MARSHA BURNS
As you embark on a journey through unfamiliar territory, know that I am still with you. Your surroundings and circumstances may change, but I never change. You can always find your strength and stability in Me, says the Lord. I am the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. James 1:2-5 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
Exodus 32; 31—33, “So Moses returned to the LORD and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made gods of gold for themselves. Yet now, if You would only forgive their sin.... But if not, please blot me out of the book that You have written.”The LORD replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot out of My book.”It is sin that bolts your name from the book of life.

May Elohiym open the heaven, break through the clouds over your head and deliver the answers you have been waiting for. May He shore up your faith, strengthen your heart, and overwhelm you with His Grace. May your soul know a peaceful assurance like it has never known before. May you believe from deep with-in that YHVH is with you, for you, and will never leave you. He is Mighty to save. Enjoy a blessed, joyful and exciting day with Elohiym!
