One of the hardest things for me on this journey was forgiving all the people who has hurt me in my life.When you forgive someone it means to let go of the pain and anger.Forget everything that they did or said.No,you don't wait until they say I"m sorry and asks you to forgive them.They may ever say it or ask you to forgive them.But you do it anyway.The Lord forgives you everyday and His word says to forgive everyone.In my life,there has been people who I loved and they tore my heart out.The closer a love one gets the more they can hurt you.Sometimes its done with words or sometimes its something they do.When it happens to me.I just pray for them.and ask the Lord to help me to understand why it happens.One thing I have learned on this journey is that when you are doing something that the lord wants you to do.Thats when you will get some of life's painful tests.By tests,I mean people will come to you with some of the silliest things.Belive me,they are silly things.You would'nt think of them your self.And boy can they hurt.My Lord all ways has a blessing in it.But at the time you don't see it.When you forgive them and let it go.He will bless you in a way you never thought He would.He is all ways with you no matter what.Sometimes you go through things like that so you can grow.Yes,you will grow and Yes its painful.Everytime His love is there.so whenever someone looks at you funny or does something to you that hurts.Forgive them,remember your Heavenly Father forgives you.He knows what is in your heart and why you do His work.Oh compassion is part of forgiveness.Just think of the compassion the Lord has for falling man.
