One day a miracle happened and was able to let go of the bitterness and now I can enjoy the sweetness that only Jesus can give. Love and hate cannot live together. If we want love, if we want peace, we MUST let go of the hurt and the anger. Forgiveness doesn’t mean allowing them to continue to hurt you, not at all, you can stay away from abusive people but if you carry the hurt they gave you, you might as well stay with them because you’re allowing them to hurt you every single time you think about it or what you want to do to them. You are still giving them the opportunity to hurt and control you. Once you let go of that which is cutting into your soul, then God can heal you. In addition to that, while you hang on to the hurt, it begins to fester and effect all the people around you. I use to wonder why nobody wanted to spend time with me but I was always fuming and I was a real stinker to be around. Since I forgave, I have peace and love and people actually want to spend time with me. Love yourself and your family enough to let go of the hurt and watch what Jesus can do to help you learn to love others.

I asked myself those 4 statements and some I need to work on, and some are coming right.

Grace is supplied amply to the victim of the offender. But to those that just take up the offense...it's harder to find since it wasn't your offense in the first place. God is in charge of those who offend and their victims...you aren't. Trying to put yourself in that place causes you a bunch of trouble. Hey...Learned this the hard way. Pray for them. Give them Godly counsel but don't take up the battle yourself.

We have a ...Hi, Gail. I hope you're doing fine<br /><br />We have a WhatsApp Bible study group. I read this article and wanted to share it with the group but there's no "easy way" to do it.<br /><br />So, my suggestion is that you could do this "easy way" for us to share it directly to Whatsapp. I will share the link with them.<br /><br />Thank you so much for all the work that you do. You're such a blessing<br /><br />Saludos from Mexico.truffa com canelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08585994506259257485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-56882464471161700452018-05-28T06:50:49.727-04:002018-05-28T06:50:49.727-04:00This is a tough one for me.

It is interesting, isn't it, that we want GOD to forgive us for our sins, but often find it difficult to forgive others for their failings? Particularly when those failings impact our lives in a negative way. Anyway, thanks for this post. I am in the middle of something like this right now, so I will pray about it.5webshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764594133665500630noreply@blogger.com
