We can forgive and walk away, but the lingering hurts and sad memories can linger far longer than we wish they would. I suppose that's just a part of being human.<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-87495289924524334692014-06-03T13:38:45.327-07:002014-06-03T13:38:45.327-07:00Asking Jesus for help in forgiving is the right th...Asking Jesus for help in forgiving is the right thing to do, for in our weakness, He makes us strong.

It literally took me three years to be able to let the memory go though I had forgiven my "Judases" long before that.<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-29656220506520256182014-06-03T12:08:31.161-07:002014-06-03T12:08:31.161-07:00Forgiving is hard, forgetting is harder. For me.....Forgiving is hard, forgetting is harder. For me....walking away and giving up on the person seems to give me some peace. Out of sight and out of mind. I may have allowed forgiveness in my heart but I can never allow myself to completely forget and continue in a relationship with that person.

I keep reminding myself that forgiveness is simply that--I do not have to have a relationship with the one I have forgiven. It is a process. Some days I have to ask Jesus to forgive that person through me, because on my own I cannot. <br /><br />Love and blessings!Kim Jollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670842504983601263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-63153723570401988102014-06-03T05:20:44.973-07:002014-06-03T05:20:44.973-07:00True forgiveness, I think, is one of the most diff...True forgiveness, I think, is one of the most difficult tasks in being a Christ follower. I need to be reminded of this truth daily and realize that it is more about what He wants for our heart than those who have hurt us.
