Forgiveness looks a lot easier than it is sometimes. How many times have I 'forgiven' someone of something, only to keep it in the back of my mind as a secret accounting. In future I'll think to myself "well she OWES me, after all, I forgave her for that time she hurt me". I'm sorry to admit I've done this a lot. If I don't forgive others well that explains also why I don't understand the depth of God's love and forgiveness for me. Maybe I think something like "well sure God forgives, but I owe Him now. He gave me everything, including a godly family how BLESSED am I, to have spit on it like I did". Maybe I don't understand how to *really* forgive, totally, with my whole heart, no, "I forgave her so she owes me, she ought to remember that". It's on me to pray to learn to truly forgive my brothers. I also pray that the situation I am in now (I'm now living with my parents cuz my hubby is going on some kind of binge...) will be an opportunity to become, really, a better daughter of God. Not just surface stuff anymore, but real humility and real love.

Hello Deborah (((hugs)))

God bless you this day.

I am so glad you are embracing the message and Truth within the study. The Lord is speaking to you, and you have your receiver turned up. Awesome!!!

Sorry to hear of your troubles with hubby, but glad you and the babies are in a warm, safe and loving place. I am glad, too, that you have others there that can help with the babies, perhaps you'll get some much needed sleep.

Prayers rise to our Lord in the name of Jesus, on behalf of all of you. May God's blessed will be done.

Keep doing the Steps, Deborah. God is with you through it all.

God bless and keep you.
Love,
Mack

ty mack! I'm so blessed to have somewhere I can go and BREATHE. I know not everyone is so lucky. Yes I have been spoiled with sleep too! I'm also feeling so grateful today that even in otherwise bad situations God can turn them for our good and that is my prayer with this study, to seek out potential for good, for growth and I'm glad I can share it with all of you.

Hi Deborah, May God wrap you in his loving way & keep you as you go through the Forrest of your circumstances. One step at a time one day at a time, I always must remind myself of this. I am the type who gets the apple cart way to far ahead of the horse! God Bless you!

In Gods Love & Strength Always,
