thank shay! forgiveness is not someth...@Shay-d-Lady<br />thank shay! forgiveness is not something that comes naturally to most ppl and it takes some time to develop and be comfortable with. and you're right--you are freed from so many harsh feelings when you can forgive yourself and others. the weight that is lifted! <br /><br />@Sukez<br />well the first step is identifying your problem area. if you WANT to deal with the hurt and wrongdoing, you can then learn to take control of your feelings and then claim the power to let it go and move on. i sincerely hope that you desire to forgive and know the freedom of releasing yourself from that baggage. it wont happen over night. you just have to commit yourself to practicing forgiveness. it may always be a struggle, but you gotta start somewhere. i wish you well, suki-sweetheart :) *hugs*<br /><br />@livelovelibra<br />it is absolutely easier said than done! but thank God He's there to help us when we cant find it in ourselves to get through it. i pray for your strength in forgiving. it is yours to conquer!!<br /><br />@ERRYBODY!!<br />thank you ALL for the feedback and opening up about your own struggles with forgiveness. i cant express enough to you how this very post slapped ME in the face. i started off going in a different direction but, as God would have it, i ended up here. and im glad i did! because it seems like we all could use a reminder in what it means to forgive and why its healthy for us to do so. this really was like therapy for me... <br /><br />thank you for reading, thank you for sharing, and thank you for showing me love :)Gem of the Oceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070963810244359157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5555515392022410584.post-9149009875788308652010-07-26T23:16:40.351-04:002010-07-26T23:16:40.351-04:00@Bajanflchick

It's sad to say, I too suffer with forgiveness. Reading all that you've said, I haven't let go of any resentful feelings from the wrongdoings that I've experienced. I don't know if I really know how to. But I'm doing all I can to.

I found that forgiveness was the key that allowed me to break away from the cycle of anger and hurt that bound me for so long as well as allowed me to have really beneficial relationships with my friends and finally my husband.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04143672022876809902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5555515392022410584.post-80437361136160117512010-07-23T13:50:16.803-04:002010-07-23T13:50:16.803-04:00*slow claps**slow claps*SaneN85https://www.blogger.com/profile/04147382300690713475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5555515392022410584.post-73537003237439323372010-07-23T07:18:34.163-04:002010-07-23T07:18:34.163-04:00I loooove this post and I'm forwarding it to m...I loooove this post and I'm forwarding it to my family and friends!!
