Been thinking about that hypocritical incident, I'm still not ready to accept it just yet. But this has been bothering me real badly. :S This kinda reminded me about the Bible Study that we have on 'Loving the people you are stuck with- A forgiving heart', yes, Chapter 2. In it, it says, there're 3 ways to cope with stuckititis: flee, fight or forgive. Right now, I'm choosing to 'flee'. ): Well, going on, it talks about the things we say, such as 'Oh I could never do that, the hurt is so deep. The wounds are numberous. Just seeing the person causes me to cringe.' Yes, that IS what I've said, as an excuse to run away from the problem which is also my problem. However, in 1 John 1:7 says 'But if we live in the light,as God is in the light, we can share fellowship with each other. Then the blood of jesus, God's Son, cleanses us from every sin' But, I just can't shift my glance away from the one who has hurt me so deep, and to set my eyes on the one who has saved me. I just can't.

Because He has forgiven us, we can forgive others.
Because He has a forgiving heart, we can have a forgiving heart.
Jesus offers unconditional grace; we are to offer unconditional grace.
The mercy of Christ preceded our mistakes; our mercy must precede the mistakes of others.
In Eph 4:32, it says 'Be kind and loving to each other, and forgive each other just as God has forgave you in Christ.'

I really want to forgive you and move on with life.
Help me, Lord.

'Be gentle and ready to forgive: never hold grudges. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.' -Colossians 3:13
