Soul Secrets ---- When Its Hard To Forgive

I know that I like so many others have strugled with forgiving people that have hurt us in one way or another because some times its soo hard , While reading in my bible this morning at church I was looking ahead and came upon this on one of the pages . I really like it and the way that it touched me I hope that these words may also touch you today if you are in need of forgiving some one whose done wrong to you also ! have a great and wonderful day , God is so amazing and with him all things are possible including forgiving ......

Lord there is nothing harder then trying to forgive when you've been desperately wounded Its worse when the offenders show no remorse but gloat over the pain they have brought into your life And that's where I am.. I do not want to forgive
But I know enough to understand that the command of Your Holy Word is forgiveness no matter what you have not given me an option
Help me to realize that unforgiven can kill it can kill my friendships my joy even my body So Lord i am choosing today to forgive all those who have stolen from me all who have broken my heart and wounded my body or my soul all who have haunted me for years In the name of Jesus I forgive
Thank you Lord for strength to walk out this forgiveness in my life Thank you for using it as a testimony to the power of your love and Thank you that as I choose to forgive moment by moment the feelings will follow

Is that not just amazing and such a reminder of just how amazing and wonderful our GOD truly is ! To show us how to forgive others just as he forgives us ! I hope you have a blessed week !

Little Miss Sparkle said...: Jesus never said that it was easy...just necessary..we need to forgive not only for the other person, but for ourselves even more Amber. Everytime we do it, it brings us that much closer to God. Remember, not everyone has the same closeness to God that some of us do...they don't know any better until you show them how to live and act through your own example. Prayers headed your way girlfriend :)

A Prayer For The Creative !

O most Glorious and Blessed God, I present myself and this work into Your hands. Do with it as You will. Guide my thoughts. Hold my hands, that You alone are writing (painting, carving) through me, producing whatever You wish me to say. And now, O my Beloved and my Joy, I prostrate myself into Your most loving embrace in thanks that You give me talent, inspiration, discipline to do Your work. Amen. So be it.

Dont Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don't give up though the pace seems slow-- You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than, It seems to a faint and faltering man, Often the struggler has given up, When he might have captured the victor's cup, And he learned too late when the night slipped down, How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out-- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-- It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
