How can you forgive?" My answer: "Who am I to deny forgiveness to someone and then hope to stand before the Lord and beseech His forgiveness."<br /><br />Most Christians will never endure the trials that Christ endured and He did it with a purpose. To forgive a lost and dying world and buy them pardon and eternal life. <br /><br />I need to quit reading your entries before I post mine. This comment may appear in part of my blog too!<br /><br />I think you should write a book with all your thoughts and blogs. I'd be in line to buy it!<br /><br />♥ the one and only Gigi girl ☺Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986188794072570572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050928059293791369.post-67855399736941361222009-06-22T16:04:52.705-04:002009-06-22T16:04:52.705-04:00Lynn!

The worse part is usually the other person doesn't even care or they have moved on. The one who is held captive by unforgiveness is us..not our offenders. <br /><br />Besides the fact that it's so heavy to carry around unforgiveness..I wouldn't want my prayer life hindered. We have to learn to allow the Lord to deal with our enemies or offenders. Lord help us all to be quick to forgive.<br /><br />Thanks again Lynn..Lisa C. aka Trophy of Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18405972288861471448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050928059293791369.post-92015543837915345782009-06-22T12:06:17.249-04:002009-06-22T12:06:17.249-04:00Great post, Lynn. I have learned that forgiveness ...Great post, Lynn. I have learned that forgiveness is an action not a feeling. You make a CHOICE to love someone and be kind to them, even though they have not been kind to you. After you make that choice and act on it, the feelings of anger a betrayal begin to lessen and eventually as you continue to walk in the action of forgiveness the feelings will follow. Not an easy thing to do - but I think of all the Lord has forgiven me of and ask, "Can I do any less?"<br /><br />Thanks for a wonderful post.<br /><br />Also, a quick thanks for letting us inteview you over on AuthorCulture today. We appreciate you giving us your time. :)Lynnette Bonnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14256307943304175911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050928059293791369.post-62869818536703228632009-06-21T17:53:29.310-04:002009-06-21T17:53:29.310-04:00So beautifully written, Lynn.

I have had to go thru the motions of forgiving someone and it took a while, but those motions became genuine eventually and I can honestly say that I care about that person now.

How rude! :o)<br /><br />Seriously, this post got on my nerves the first 43 times I read it (okay, well, maybe a SLIGHT exaggeration)! <br /><br />I have been dealing with a huge betrayal very recently. And NOT dealing with it well. I have had fleeting thoughts (and not so fleeting) about exacting revenge MY way. <br /><br />I know that God says He will take care of it - and I'm supposed to leave it there - but I'm not finding it easy.<br /><br />This post just kind of put a mirror in my face. Gee, thanks. <br /><br />Seriously, THANK YOU, Lynn. I know I need to lay this down... I think what you wrote has helped me to begin that process.<br /><br />God bless you, my friend...<br /><br />Wanda SanchezDoodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09250716928931356857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050928059293791369.post-55991909172221226242009-06-20T01:40:27.152-04:002009-06-20T01:40:27.152-04:00This was a great post.
