I didn’t hear this. This could not have happened; therefore, it didn’t.” But the truth is, sometimes the people we admire the most can do the most hurtful things to us. And it is of no value to pretend we didn’t see it happen.” <br />Total Forgiveness R. T.

Job h...Do we forgive to get?<br />Or do we just forgive?<br />Job had no promises of being blessed. He just obeyed. Period. Just because he loved God. <br />Who is truly our focus? God, for just who He is? Or God, for what He can do for us?<br />Do we look to see if there's truth to what is said to us, or do we just assume we are innocent because we didn't like how God was speaking to us or who He was using? Do we respond in love or fear? Are questions asked of us that we are too afraid to dig deep enough to answer honestly? Do we assume things and not probe deeper into the situation? Do we get hurt easily, thinking the devil is after us, when it's God wanting to help us? Do we need to repent of our own reactions, instead of getting our religion on and "forgiving"someone? Is forgiveness on our checklist but not in our relationships?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
