(charleychacko;1845)
How do you forgive someone who was very cruel to you? I have prayed, I have acted my way through it, but this person still brings back feelings of grief and betrayal, no matter what. I know it is necessary (in many ways) to forgive them but I just don't know how to get over the way this person hurt me.
Forgiveness is a choice.II Corinthians 10:5 "We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ." The devil will try to bring back all those hurt feelings, which in turn brings back bad memories. We must try not to focus on those thoughts and remember Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute,if there is any excellence and if anything worth of praise, let your mind dwell on these things."When you find yourself thinking unpleasant thoughts, quote scriptures. Psalm 19:14 "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer." [/SIZE]ls
