*** Forgiveness is not a matter of forgetting. Forgiving is a present action; forgetting is a process
of time.
Forgiveness plays a big part in our relationship with the Lord along with Faith but that Is another topic, faith that is.
My cousin and I had a discussion the other day about forgiveness and the levels of forgiveness, something I wasn't aware of. Example, I say I forgive my husband for all the wrong he have done to me, however, I still have flash backs and become angry and disgusted by his prior actions.
Yes, it has a lot to do with trust but forgiveness is the main key.
Another Example, a few people in my family I believe wrong me for as being two face, users, back stabbers etc... and although I love them and say I forgive them and pray for them there is still a place in my heart that hold on to the past. I NEVER KNEW THAT....until this past weekend....
Although I forgave I will never allow you to get close to again ( my defense tack) because I no longer trust you.. yeah, I can hang laugh and talk with you but the bond we once had will never be the same... AND THAT'S BAD ( remember my opinion) because we ask the Lord to forgive us for all the wrong we have done and he do just that..... he throw it into the sea of forgetfulness, right? But.. at the same time We weep what we sow ( we still will be punished for our own actions, so we can learn from our faults) !!!! Actual I'm becoming confused ( God is not a God of confusion, so the devil is in my ear trying to twist me up) so I need my prayer worries to help me me pray for clarity and strength to forgive each and everyone that has caused me to carry this burden....I also ask that my people have been blessed the ability to teach ( explain) give me some feed back!!!
Note: This is truly a battle for me, I love hard and care harder but I refused to be played or treated less then the way I treat you..stranger or no stranger.... I will give my last, will hurt for you, worry about your problem and it has nothing to do with me.....so I know I have a heart but????? I lost.. Help your sister.. Be Blessed!!
Don't for get you can always email me to add an discussion or topic..

ReplyDeleteForgiveness, is a process of healing, it is the act of restoring back to where you use to be, forgiveness, is treating that person like it never happen.
But what about when you put up a guard to only allow them to get so close because of what happen in the past... does that mean I do not forgive? I can laugh and talk with a certain person, loved them to death and call for advise but it still the guard I put up because of the past ( Until this past weekend I did not know it bothered me) make sense?

ReplyDeleteMy cuz, we just had a Sunday school lesson Sunday and the name of it was called clearing the air, now Jacob had stole his brothers birth right and his brother was angry because Jacob had tricked there daddy and stole his blessings, so his brother was gonna kill him, but over a long period of time Jacobs brother grew and forgave his brother, and it was Jacob that went to find his brother but, it was the brother who was did wrong that found in his heart to forgive. So even if you haven't did anything wrong, your not the first one.
Thats why it is a process, sometime it can take a long period of time to get over it, but you must continue pray and be honest with God, tell him how you feel but remember to still ask for help with forgiveness.

ReplyDeleteI know forgiveness is a process, but it seems like the wall you put up against that person becomes a stronghold and that's a way for Satan to enter in. If it's a process, why did Jesus say forgive seventy tes seven a day? In one day.
Good point ...process to heal ?

ReplyDeleteYour welcome, and most important, be real with God don't try to tell him what you think he wants to hear, tell him how you really feel and then ask him to fix it.
