Well we all know we are supposed to forgive people but honestly i am tired of forgiving. i forgive alot of things in life. il forgive you for stepping on my foot, il forgive you for insulting me, and il forgive you for lieng to me, but after awhile.. im done forgiving you and im just about ready to leave you alone. jesus says for us to forgive but gah.. i am tired of forgiving people. they dont deserve it. you can mess up but for christ sake you need to learn your lesson but it looks like you cant so im done with you. everyone has a limit, and everyone has boundries but i dont think it should be my responsiblity to tell you. i am tired of being the nice kid. i am not perfect, and neither are you, but you should have the common sense to know you are wrong. and i dont care that i am not fogiving you because i have far to many times. Forgive and Forget. Is something i can not do. something i will not do. and something that you should not do. Its not a cammandment to fogive, its not even a rule, so i dont think i am not completely wrong for not fogiving. but i think i am correct for not. and that first quote up there. i believe is completely false by the way. and the second one isnt either. they in my eyes are falso quotes. apparently learning to forgive we are all supposed to do if we are to be strong christians. but hey im able to say that im not. so i think im doing just fine at my current pace
A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable.
Robert Fripp
Forgiveness means letting go of the past.
Gerald Jampolsky
Technically forgiveness is a command. I look at it as an extension of the golden rule - "Do unto others..." I mean, treating others like we'd treat ourselves would mean that we would want somebody to cut us a little slack when we've screwed up, right? But, I hear you. Forgiving can get tough and TIRING. And sometimes, you honestly just need to take a break from the person and distance yourself from them to forgive them. There's nothing wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteIt's also perfectly fine to admit you aren't a "strong Christian." Your honesty and realness are very much appreciated! Just don't be content to stay there. These same church people who piss you off constantly got content and stayed where they were at. Look what happened.
We aren't called to forget. Forgive yes, but not to forget and act like it didn't happen.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we even need to forgive some of the things we think we do. Maybe we just need to chill out and then it wouldn't even seem like something we need to forgive. Just a thought.
