Hello to all,
Foregiveness is a gift from God. God modeled a part of foregiveness to us that many do not grasp. He has offered His Son to us, that if we accept Him, and die to our old selves we will be foregiven of our past sins, be positioned to receive and appreciate God's abundant blessings and spend eternal life in Heaven when our time is up.
The key is that we have to accept and believe it in order to receive it. To acknowledge and accept what He allowed to happen for our sake.
Only pride would prevent anyone of from accepting such a wonderful gift as this. Who are any of us to hold on to an offense against others when God has released us from our own offenses to Him. It is only fitting that the Prideful among us will not experience real joy until they learn to truly foregive.
With our family, friends, and all other people we encounter or impact our lives, we make many mistakes that hurt feelings. Sometimes others hurt our feelings and are not aware of it. We are called to seek foregiveness and grant foregiveness in order to remain pure and full of joy. Without it, who or what will we turn to for comfort?
Thank you for reading this,
D.

Jun. 13, 2007 - Hello Father2Five
We absolutely LOVE Tennessee - been here since the mid-1990s (I was raised in Northeastern Ohio, worked in Philadelphia, Chicago and DC - but wouldn't raise my kids anywhere other than TN). Drop me an email at RikLan@aol.com and I'll tell you more. It's not only a great state (wonderful climate, low cost of living, mountains, FANTASTIC people, etc.) but is also VERY homeschool-friendly.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
