FORGIVE OR NOT TO FORGIVE??????

Hello Friend,

Today I receive a call from a dear friend of mine, she was very upset. A group of people was talking about her, whom she thought was very good friends. I tried to give her good advice because I believe that we will be held accountable for our actions. It seemed that she was harping on the fact that they had offended her and I believe that she had a right to be. Nevertheless, I also believe that if she does not find a way to forgive them and move on that she will fall prey to the bait. I realized sometime ago that it is not what people do to me, that I am responsible for, but how I response. I choose to forgive others, because I desire to be free and released.

Forgiving is the easy part...forgetting is the hard part. In the stage of forgiving do not forget to forgive yourself. Secondly there are two things that occur when dealing with associates prayer and forgiveness. (1) Prayer changes things...they will change their ways. (2). They will get tired of hating you and leave you alone. Either way do not let people change you...stand firm in your belief....You have the Power to Survive".

I love that you share your strength with others. I can feel your determination each time I read your blogs. I personally am challenged on how to do this also, but want to work to figure out the blogging on my own and am hoping the experience will help me to improve. Live and learn, right? i hope you get the answers you seek!

Thanks for your comments on mine. I appreciate that.
