What is true forgiveness? all my life I always thought it was to act like what that person did or say never happened, when deep down inside your still angry and hurt. I pray that Christ would give me the strength and show me the true meaning of forgiveness. It's more easy for me to believe that God has forgiven me. it's more hard for myself to know if I truly forgiven someone and not still feel that hurt or anger toward the person that really hurt me.

I can relate. I think true forgiveness happens in my heart. I don't think it means I forget what you did. I think it means I have made a choice to respond to one in such a way that does not include the wrong they did to me. And further I make this choice continually so much so that it becomes a part of who I am & how I live my life with others too. Now would I let this young man back into my home? Right now today, probably not, Ever? I don't know. Forgiveness is also a process.

[Mistabiggstuff]

I can only do this by recalling all that God has forgiven me of & the things in my life he has lavished His grace upon. How dare I call myself His Child, His Ambassador & not extend the grace & forgivness I have recieved to others who may not know how good an experience it is to be forgiven. Ultimately it is what God wants the world to know. We are forgiven. In that state the reason for us ever to have to treat on another badly has been removed. The only way the world will know is if we do it.

I'm really glad you that you took time to make a video response. I'll return with a comment in a few hours, I have to run - but again I really appreciate it 'cause Lord knows I needed this.

Thank you so much. I appreciate your reply. I've learned through my experience I went through was truly a learning tool. If what had happened to me had never happened I believe I wouldn't have the job I got now nor the good people I come to know since I moved. I do forgive that person and pray the best in there life.

I can relate to your situation and it came down to me literly moving out of state and starting my life over. I had to Trust G od through it all. though I get lonely at times, God still open many doors for me where I live now. Like you I open my home and allowed this person to sleep on my sofa. when I would come home there would be strange people he knew in my home. I gotten thousand of dollars of my music collection stolen from me. I lost my ability to trust people as far as opening my home.
