Forgiveness

"But to you who are listening, I say: LOVE your enemies, DO GOOD to those who hate you, BLESS those who curse you, and PRAY for those who mistreat you."
                                                   Luke 6:27-28


This week's message was probably the most powerful and eye opening message I've heard so far. It unlocked something that my life has been lacking for a long time

FORGIVENESS.

I need to stop holding on to the bitterness and resentment.  I need to forgive D/H and the ho for what they did to me. In the end God WILL punish them (and He may be already) but that is not my concern. But that also does not mean I should not be praying for them to seek His Truth before it's too late.

I am to RELEASE those who have offended me. Not to wait for the apology to forgive. It is the only way to move forward, and trust someone again.  Dare I let myself love again. When things in my life (finances, career, relational, spiritual, overall health) got better IMMEDIATELY after he left, I missed the sign. Never again.

With that said....D/H... I release you.

 The hurt you caused me.
The pain, bitterness, and resentment I have harbored in my heart.
Making you better in my mind than you really were.
Thinking I could not go on with out you.

Because you are the one who has to live with what you did. Not me.
You are the one who has to live with someone willing to cheat on someone.  Who thinks so little of the sanctity of a holy union, that they will never trust you or be trustworthy themselves. Not me.
You are the one who everyone said would not amount to much, and in the end you are proving them right. Not me.

I forgive you
And now I can forget you

Dating Rules

My mother "reminded" me that I have not posted in a while. I have been crazy, stupid, busy. 

Huck and I are on the outs. Turns out he was not as ready to let go of his "harem" as he first thought he was, and I was not was okay with it as I thought I could be.  The friend that introduced us has apologized profusely. "I thought he had grown out of that" she keeps saying. News Flash: One a player, always a player. Just like cheaters.  Neither will EVER change.

Looking through my tickler file, where I keep my blog ideas, I came across this article on Dating Rules .

I'm an old fashioned girl at heart, so I can appreciate all the rules. Rule #7, especially. Nothing is more rude than talking to the top of one's head while they check their messages. Geez! D/H would do that. Chances are good that he still does. He doesn't have much to hold his attention these days.

And like I said, some people will NEVER change.
