Lord, teach me to forgive....

This week, i find myself thinking about alot of things that went wrong in the past, that i wish would have went differently, but for some reason ended sharply with alot of regret. I once had a very close friend that thought i wronged her by doing the ultimate damage to a friendship, and that is lose trust. Ill never forget the day, she looked me in the face and called me a liar... OH how it stung. I couldnt convince her that i would never and had not ever done anything to her to hurt her.... and based on the situation at hand, i dont blame her for how she acted. No details are needed here, just know that ive always felt a little piece of my heart broke off that day. Betrayal can ruin everything you have with someone, when you lose trust, you basically lose everything you ever worked for in a relationship. Friendships are based on trust.. period, but also forgiveness... I really feel that God has helped my relationship in Him grow, and when i used to sit here and think, "how dare she accuse me?" or " how dare she act that way..." i now know that in order to free myself from a long lasting wound, i must forgive her and move on. I watch her life from a distance, and i know she watches mine. Im sure that we think of each other from time to time and all the great memories we shared.  Ill never be able to truely express how much she meant to me... but time has passed and so has the anger and resentment. I just hope at some point, she forgave me. Please Please Please, if youre struggling in a heartache, or youre just plain mad at somebody, pray that God will help you forgive them and move on. We are to love one another, even our enemies, and even those that were never meant to be enemies in the first place. Jonathan seems to be doing well, last time i talked to him he said he was SO sleepy that his eyes hurt... yeah thats pretty sleepy... Continue to pray for them, time is ticking down and we cant wait till they get home......

Ill leave you with as always, an inspiration...

For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." Matthew 6:14-15

With all the love i got.....
