Forgiveness is for my own sake. I cannot be forgiven unless I forgive. And Lord knows I have plenty to be forgiven for, so it's in my best interest to forgive those who have done me wrong. Knowingly or unknowingly.
The Bible also talks about how to treat the man/woman of God. We are not to talk about, talk down, denigrate, or smear them. I say things to my confidante, but I'm still careful of what I say because God hears and knows all. I have, however, been hurt. And it hurts the most when you believe the person who hurt you had your best interest at heart. Then you begin to second-guess all of your prior decisions. Has every decision I've ever made been an 'emotional decision'? Do only women make emotional decisions or is it just me, and not even relegated to a gender thing. So when second-guessing yourself, how far do you go back?
I'm tired.
I need to finish my post on this topic. You were done wrong. God knows your heart. Not verbally saying something doesn't mean its not communicated. Lay your burdens down and the healing will begin.
