Forgive 11/24/2009
We must forgive those who hurt us. The reason is simple: Bitterness and unforgiveness are claws that set their hooks deep in our hearts; they are chains that keep us held captive to the wounds and the messages of those wounds. Until you forgive, you remain their prisoner. Paul warns us that unforgiveness and bitterness can wreck our lives and the lives of others (Eph. 4:31; Heb. 12:15). We have to let them go. Forgive as Christ has forgiven you. (Col 3:13) Now – listen carefully. Forgiveness is a choice. It is not a feeling – don’t try and feel forgiving. It is an act of the will. “Don’t wait to forgive until you feel like forgiving,” wrote Neil Anderson. “You will never get there. Feelings take time to heal after the choice to forgive is made . . .” We allow God to bring the hurt up from our past, for “if your forgiveness doesn’t visit the emotional core of your life, it will be incomplete.” We acknowledge that it hurt, that it mattered, and we choose to extend forgiveness to our father, our mother, those who hurt us. This is not saying, “It didn’t really matter”; it is not saying, “I probably deserved part of it anyway.” Forgiveness says, “It was wrong. Very wrong. It mattered, hurt me deeply. And I release you. I give you to God.” It might help to remember that those who hurt you were also deeply wounded themselves. They were broken hearts, broken when they were young, and they fell captive to the Enemy. They were in fact pawns in his hands. This doesn’t absolve them of the choices they made, the things they did. It just helps us to let them go – to realize that they were shattered souls themselves, used by our true Enemy in his war against femininity. (Captivating, 102-103)

Wasting Precious TimeAuthor: Joseph Sica frjoesica@hotmail.com
I recently visited a friend in the hospice unit at one of our local hospitals.
As I was talking with Bill, a gentleman walked into the room. Bill began to cry and so did the gentleman. The gentleman leaned over the bed to embrace Bill. After a few moments the gentleman, Ken, said to me, “He’s my brother. We haven’t spoken in over 25 years.”
Caught by surprise by his comment, I said, “You’re kidding me?”
“No,” replied Ken. “We had an argument over a piece of property and have been estranged from each other.”
Bill said, “Ken, you haven’t met my children.”
Then Bill introduced his children to their uncle. I left the hospice unit thinking, there’s something wrong when we can’t forgive. Life is short and it’s difficult to make up for all the time that has been lost.
This experience caused me to think the power of forgiveness and the need for it in our lives. Sure, when someone says something or does something to cause us harm, it hurts. But we need to move beyond the hurt, to healing, which comes from forgiveness.
I like to think of forgiveness as the bold choice we make to clear out of our lives resentment, bitterness, anger, hatred, and revenge. We need to ask ourselves, “Do I want to waste precious time and energy carrying around these nasty feelings?”
It’s the unfinished business we may have with a spouse, parent, child, brother or sister, or friend which we need to take care of before it’s too late.
Holding on to the past only weakens the relationship and keeps us from mending it and putting it back together.
When we refuse to forgive, the other person owns us.
Often forgiveness is not for the other person, it’s for us -- to let it go and begin again.
Charlie came to see me about a problem he was having. He was angry with his father for dying. He said, “He died just when I was getting to know him as a buddy, a friend. We’d fish, hunt, and golf together. Now it’s all gone.”
I told him, “You have unfinished business with your father. Go and tell him.”
“He’s dead,” Charlie said, “How can I?”
I said, “Get in your car and go to the cemetery and tell him how angry you are with him.” He left me looking confused.
Two weeks later, Charlie came and told me, “I feel better. I drove to the cemetery and stood over his grave and dumped my angry. Then I closed my eyes and said to myself what I felt my dad would say. Wow, I never realized how much energy keeping all that anger inside can do to a person.”
I agreed and applauded Charlie for what he did.
Forgiveness brings healing, freedom, and peace back into our lives. It opens our eyes to see what happened. It calls us to break down the walls, stop the silent treatment and put an end to the cold war. One day, the roles of wronged and wrongdoer may be reversed.
Use today as an opportunity to open a door that has been closed too long. Forgive. Let it go. Put it behind you and see how much better you will feel.

Give it try. It works.
“Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.” -Matthew 18:21-22

In my view there are many sides to every person andthe trip of it is that very few people know all thesides to them. So sometimes we meet people and theyseem so sweet and nice for a while and then after sometime they act like monsters and then you wonder if thesweet side was all about pretending. But it's not always so; yes there are those who dopretend but a majority of people don't realize certainsides they have until circumstances bring it out. You know, like you never know you have the ability tokill until you're in a life or death situation andcircumstances like that. Or better still, you neverknow you can love till you fall in love. So when we have friends who used to be real sweet andnice turn rather cold and mean we shouldn't be quickto judge them because it may just be that the pressurethey are facing has broken them. When we see people back out of relationships we maynever know what they went through. All of us break under pressure, but it's just theamount of pressure that differs. Sometimes we do things that we find hard to believebut we need not condemn ourselves for those thingsbecause it happens to everyone. The most importantthing is realizing and accepting that we have this sadabilities and working really hard to change andcontrol them. But first, we must recognize these traits in us,recognize and accept that they are in us. Until we do that we really can't progress becauseslike it's been said "he who knows not and knows heknows not is a wise man" and recognizing is the firstand most important step. Only then can we progress totry and change them. Changing is hard to do. Nobody really likes change, but if we realize that itwill take a lot of time and perseverance then we cansee it through. We must try real hard to control itand not just go like "that's who I am" which in myperception is an indolent statement. Everyone must be in control of their emotions any onewho can't control his emotions becomes a slave of hisemotions and therefore can't really be considered acomplete being. Our emotions are just a part of us, we are the wholeand so part cannot control the whole, the whole mustbe in control of every part in order for everything towork well. In order to be complete, to prove that we(that is we as human beings) are in control, we mustfirst control that tiny weeny part of us that can berather destructive - our emotions! It's not easy and there'll be many fallbacks, butstep-by-step we'll get to the top.
