I can forgive (secretly in my heart)but I can never tell someone I forgive them because I won't forget! <BR/><BR/>My g-ma taught me that they go hand-in-hand. I haven't mastered being able to do both.Riahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061508877165744730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734660318061945826.post-20501462107038040392009-02-12T18:35:00.000-05:002009-02-12T18:35:00.000-05:00Your posts are always food for thought for me..Thi...Your posts are always food for thought for me..This is something that you're not always thinking about but never forget to do.<BR/><BR/>I to have a hard time with forgiveness.

Sometimes God allows us the consequences of our sin as a reminder just as sometimes hurt from others helps us to learn and not repeat mistakes. You can still forgive freely, but remembering can help you not get in that hurtful position again. Of course I don't know your specifics, but I can think of some in my own life that I will remember even though I've chosen to forgive.PAK ARThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985770093478778520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734660318061945826.post-64318446511997911562009-02-09T19:51:00.000-05:002009-02-09T19:51:00.000-05:00I struggle with forgiveness.

When this situation happened, I did my best not to revert back. I took a step back, gathered myself, prayed on it, and realized that it wasn't worth getting upset over.Strongblkwmnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01943807196468824583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734660318061945826.post-32520530260327093312009-02-08T21:11:00.000-05:002009-02-08T21:11:00.000-05:00Forgiveness is one of life's greatest gifts!

I couldn't think of why not to- after all - I had a laundry list for which God had written off and suddenly what others have done failed in comparison.<BR/><BR/>But forgetting has and continue to be a choice that I have to make.<BR/><BR/>PS. I am so glad that Jesus hears and I was doing 'my dance' for your sis.<BR/><BR/>Love you much.<BR/><BR/>MyriamMyriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04777058461658866230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734660318061945826.post-61830015749584659862009-02-08T11:21:00.000-05:002009-02-08T11:21:00.000-05:00Sometimes I wonder why is it hard to forgive other...Sometimes I wonder why is it hard to forgive others who wrong you. But on the other hand we forget about how much God has forgiven us on more than one ocassion. He never holds a grudge or throw in our faces all the wrongs we done in the past. <BR/><BR/>My prayer is that God will give me the strength to forgive instantly and not keep that mental notes of all those offended me, or hold grudges for a day, week, or long. I just want to be able to relax and release so that I won't hinder my blessings from God anymore.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for this post. It has been a blessing to me.Toiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12410215784278599227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734660318061945826.post-34150195979336924692009-02-08T10:50:00.000-05:002009-02-08T10:50:00.000-05:00Good morning Stacye and "HAPPY Sunday."Love you ba...Good morning Stacye and "HAPPY Sunday."<BR/><BR/>Love you back.
