Hi everybody.

I just want to encourage everyone that reads this message that forgivneness is possible. It may take us a while to forgive someone, but it can be done. I have a friend that I met online and one night while emailing him, it wouldn't go through, so I wrote him a e-mail falsely accusing him of blocking my e-mails. I said some mean things that shouldn't have been said especially online. (Not bad that I would forget that I am of God) He emailed me back saying he did nothing to block my e-mails. So last night I e-mailed him again. It has been a while since we conversated due to that accusation. He e-mailed me back and told me thanks for the apology but, he needed time to himself. That made me feel really bad because I knew I hurt him by the things I said and what I accused him of. He also said he was boiling over by what I said to him. And right then I knew why he wasn't responding to any of my e-mails that i sent him. I really like him and feel bad about what I done. Come to find out it was just a server problem. Now I feel like I have lost a very good friend and confidant. See I have a problem with myself. I always jump to conclusions about things because sometimes I think people are just out to hurt me and it's not that way at all. Due to a bad relationship that I experienced and had a child with in the relationship, my self-esteem has been low every since. I know I should let all those feelings of self-pity go and began to live my life and stop accusing my friends of trying to deliberately hurt me. I want him in me and my baby's life and I feel like I have lost him. I am going to pray to God about it and leave it in his hands. I will not give up on him and our possible future. So to everyone who has a problem with self pity, falsly accusing people and forgiveness, take my advice and let it go. It's not worth it and it's definetely not worth going to hell or losing a close friend, family member, spouse or whoever. Live.... We only have one life on this earth, don't let anger and bitterness keep you from being happy.
Please respond......

Shanetria,
I will pray to God that your self-esteem is built and that you learn how to live without an accusative attitude. I too feel that (men) will hurt me, but I have been praying and working on that. I know that it is Gods desire for me to have a husband and to love as Jesus loves me. If the person is for you it will be. God's plan is perfect, and it will always come to pass. I pray for you and your baby that you both have the desires of your heart. Forgiveness is what God requires of us. We have to learn how to let go of the past and know that all people are not out to get us. God is good to us and we have to accept his will for our lives.

Dear God, I ask that you would keep your hand on my sister Shanetria and her baby. I ask that you allow her to love and accept love. I ask that she does not allow the things of the past block what you have in store for her. Amen

Shanetria, This is a prayer I have been saying for several months. Although, I am not completely healed from my past hurts, I am stronger and growing stronger each day. Enjoy....

Dear God, help me lovely God to put love where there is hatred. To put hope and faith where there is discord. Please help me to heal my pain help me learn the spirit of forgiveness grant me your divine wisdom, so that I can love and be loved again. I ask this in the mighty name of Christ Jesus Amen.

( I have been saying the 2nd prayer and I know someday I will be a be to love and accept love) And I know that God has someone that will love me in return. God Bless you and Happy Thanksgiving

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

Thanks for the advice. Very good advice. Every one should read the proverbs and John's Gospel to learn more about not answering a matter till you've heard iit all and consider it. Also it is good for learning forgiveness and judging things with wisdom. Prayers for you to have wisdom and patience and faith.
