Forgive & Forget...

But what if you can't?

I was reading an online comment about a girl and her best friend.  This girl would go out with unsuspecting guys and her friend would always corroborate whatever this girl said to the unsuspecting guys that she lied to; making it seem that she was telling the truth, when in fact she was not.

This girl was labeled a word that is pretty derogatory for a girl.  This girl has a name and it was on the online comment that I read.  Why is this girl like this?  What happened in her life that makes her think that she should be proud of doing evil?  Does she deserve to get married to a great guy?  Does she deserve to have children?  Why did she feel that it was ok to lie and cheat?  I wonder if this girl knows she is a con artist?

Do you know who Hosea is?  He is a great guy that got married to the worst sort of girl and yet he loved her.  Why?  Why?  Why?  Some people choose and some people get their choices taken away.  Why do we make the choices we make?  Redemption is something that is difficult for us to understand at times but being forgiven much makes a difference.  It makes a big difference.

The Road to Somewhere...

You Hope!

Have you ever started on a journey without knowing where you will end up?  Don't you think life is like that?  We don't know where because even if we think we have a destination in mind sometimes things just don't end up working out the way you think it will work out.  That's life for you!  You have to roll with the punches and be flexible in case something doesn't work out the way you want it to.

How do you forgive?

...The Unforgettable?

Who do you find it the hardest to forgive?  I think it's the ones that simply never acknowledge that they did anything wrong, don't you think?  They either outright deny it or simply say that they don't remember...  I can appreciate someone being candid and repentant but for someone to say that they don't feel that they are doing anything wrong I just don't know...  This is why The Shack is a great read.  It actually walks you through the process of forgiving the unforgivable because don't we cross paths with them daily?
