They might not always *deserve* in our minds but we certainly don't *deserve* the forgiveness that each of us has been given either, do we?<br /><br />I love watching God lay these words on your heart and the women who are learning and growing from them. You are truly a blessing!<br /><br />xoxo,<br />MelissaMelissa in Mel's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13638983411456998183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-5522239362617554212010-01-16T07:26:38.824-05:002010-01-16T07:26:38.824-05:00Thank you Denise, I just love your website!Thank you Denise, I just love your website!Praise and Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273673325959351521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-52624336884107644542010-01-15T23:45:08.829-05:002010-01-15T23:45:08.829-05:00I like the NLT translation of Colossians 3:13,14. ...I like the NLT translation of Colossians 3:13,14.

Praying for favor also does something for the person we are praying for. I have seen a change for the better in behavior in a person's way of acting in my own life. i am not explaining this very well, but i guess i can say form expereince that prayoing for favor and blessing does work! : )<BR/><BR/>i love praise and worship. btw.holy chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08781311552069113808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-87494987873290973162007-04-19T19:05:00.000-04:002007-04-19T19:05:00.000-04:00Thank you so much for commenting on my blog!

When my hubby and I were in marriage counseling and dealing with some hurts from childhood - one of the things this Godly counselor told us was that - "You become what you don't forgive!" What she meant by that was that all the anger, hurt and bitterness that caused this person to be hurtful to you - will be allowed to build in your own heart if you don't forgive them!<BR/>Blessings - and thanks for the great reminder about forgiveness!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-76766856700073971552007-04-19T09:35:00.000-04:002007-04-19T09:35:00.000-04:00Wonderful read, Sue.

It took me years to humble myself and admit that someone had even hurt me (I thought it was weak to feel hurt and I just needed to "get over it")<BR/><BR/> I walked this road recently - forgiving and being forgiven...I've been on both sides of the fence. <BR/>What I do know is amazing fruit comes out of these experiences when we choose to walk in humility. <BR/><BR/>So thanks - made me cry..<BR/><BR/>p.s. I will have some serious posts at some point but I've been in such an intense season of my walk that I honestly need to post lighter things to just have a break...This is not a bad season but the intensity level is like nothing I've experienced. I know that things are changing at an excellerated rate. Anyhow, hope this makes sense.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345700815342519859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-73544898960745667392007-04-19T09:13:00.000-04:002007-04-19T09:13:00.000-04:00What a terrific post to begin my day with.
