Thread Name: God still with me 2008
Subject: RE: God still with me 2008
....gossip and false witness...and homosexuality, in its sexual form (and I say that because I love all men...ooops and women)...and murder...and theft..and etc etc and many other things are unacceptable to Christians. We still have to love the people, whoever they are or whatever their persuasion. To do that we have to forgive.... and forgiveness is not letting people off as such...it is 'fore' giving.....it is giving away all the bad feelings for anyone no matter what they do to us, even before they do it. I would like to think I would forgive anyone anything before they do it to me or mine or whoever...Jesus did...so should I not do so too? If I live with the hurt other people have caused me.....as an entity at the front or back of my mind.....they still hurt me! If I forgive them..if I give away those feelings..they can hurt me no more!
Every one of us was thrust into this sad world and not by our own choice...we all try to make our own way through it 'as best we can' and of course we mess up! again and again. I mess up less since I have had God in my life....that is a fact!...I even like myself now which I didn't until 1991....so I couldn't like others let alone love them. Whether you believe in God or not...whether you believe my words or not is not important. What is important is that you seek the truth of life and find your own destiny...whatever you perceive it to be.
If you do not find God...the God I know...then be happy being the person you are with your beliefs, whatever they be.
