One Sunday, the pastor from Kingdom Connection Jentezen Franklin started his sermon with these quotes from Paige Satchel:
WORK LIKE YOU DON'T NEED THE MONEY
DANCE LIKE NOBODY'S WATCHING
LOVE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN HURT
The topic for the day was about how Love Never Fails. I recommend to anybody to check Kingdom Connection on the Discovery channel on Sunday at 7:30 before Joel Osteen. I started watching him when one Sunday for some reason I decided to turn the tv ON before the time for Joel Osteen which I've been watching for a while now.
The pastor J.Franklin was talking about how he is helping Haiti, since then I watch him every Sunday.
Anyhow, that made me think about how we always forgive those we love.-I always forgive, but
I don't forget. I don't believe in this forgive and forget thing.
Like the pastor said: NOBODY IS THAT SPIRITUAL. I can forgive in 1 hour, in 1 day or 1 month after the hurt, the betrayal, the longest it takes me to forgive is 3 months but I always do, if you don't forgive it will consume you.-I read somewhere that "THE WEAK CAN NEVER FORGIVE, FORGIVENESS IS THE ATTRIBUTE OF THE STRONG".
Forgiving is not condoning, what someone did to you is still not okay. If someone hurts me, if someone lies to me frequentely, I will forgive them but trust them again????
Furthermore, if and when a person has repented we can show them some mercy like God does for us.
For some people, after you forgive them it's best to stay away from them, if possible.
*If love really is unconditional, it will hold any weight, face any doubt, persist through hoplessness and last any trial.
My husband is a wonderful, loving, caring man with a generous heart, a little naive, people tend to take advantage of him and he always forgive.-My children know the power of forgiveness and they also know that, when something is wrong it's best to talk about it, kind of clear the air and move on. That's the way it is between them. With my three children plus my husband it always has been like I have four children in a certain way and our love for each other has always get us through anything.
Our 26th anniversary is on the 24th of this month. - 26 years.....for better or for worse. We have had a lot of better and when there is worse THERE IS WORSE. --Anyway I am a Godsend for him. LOL I can see his face reading this. LOL.
"LOVE NEVER FAILS, IF IT DID WOULD IT BE LOVE?
It's my frugal way of saying:
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TI PAPY!!! I beat you to the punch.
