The feeling is rarly there. What we must rememeber that real forgivness is an act of will not an emotion.<br />Difficult to do but not impossible.

It is much easier to love and forgive when wounded pride is not being defended... :-)<br /><br />Bridget: Hey! Forgiving myself has been one of my biggest struggles in the past.

There are a number of people I don't particularly like, or with whom I might avoid contact for their harmful influence on my small children. But I can honestly say that I count no person my enemy. There's no one with whom I've had conflict that I wouldn't work to make peace.<br /><br /><i>"In me nothing good dwells."</i> (Romans 7:18)<br /><br />All of what I just said is not something I'm able to do on my own. This is the power of prayer. This is the power of God.<br /><br /><i>When a man's ways please the LORD, <br />He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.</i> <br />(Proverbs 16:7)Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.com
