Today, we are going a little different direction with the blog. We want to find out from you some information. In an effort to see the fruit of one person forgiving another person or people, we would like you to share some of your experiences.
Who has forgiven you? What was the situation? How is the relationship today? Did if affect your realtionship with God?
Who have you forgiven? What was the situation? Was the result reconsiliation or just release from the offense? How did it influence your relationship with God?
Let's learn together from one another's experiences. Remember, you do not have to go into great detail. Just give us a sense of what you have experienced and what the results are in your life.
God bless you and thanks in advance for sharing!

I have a younger sister that continually says things to me or my family that is either offensive or just something one wouldn't want repeated. I continually forgive her and pray for her. I even try to explain to her why we don't share personal stuff with her anymore. Finally ~ as I should have done already ~ I have turned her over to God and continue to pray for her and forgive her.
ReplyDeleteHEY EVERYONE ~ I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE IN THE CHURCH WHO HAS FORGIVEN OR BEEN FORGIVEN IN THEIR ENTIRE LIFE! I WOULD LOVE TO READ YOUR STORIES!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's been difficult to talk about, but during this series of sermons, I have learned a lot of things that I already knew and had been taught. I just was not putting them into practice. I came through a very difficult seperation and divorce and there were a lot of miserable feelings shared by each of us. These feelings not only affected us, but my spouse allowed these feelings to spill over into the lives of our children. My spouse had been harboring feelings of resentment and guilt and bitterness from a life that former parents and step parents, from previous marriages, had administered that suddenly appeared in our own lives and were allowed to destroy our marriage simply by not turning to God and allowing Him to work out these feelings. We must all learn and practice from these sermons that a life that we allow Satan to control with our feelings and emotions of this nature is not one that would never reflect Jesus Christ. Thank you pastor for preaching with such annointing on the sermon a couple of weeks ago on forgiveness. Even as it was shared with us by the missionary that was returning to the same area in which his wife had been killed. No greater lesson in forgiveness could ever be shown in this present day. There is so much to learn and live in forgiving hurt. It is not easy, but Jesus did it as they were killing Him. How could we ever not FORGIVE?
ReplyDeleteWow ~ on the last day of our 40 Days of Victory we have exactly 40 followers! Think that means anything? Will this blog continue after the 40 days is over?
