I want to give up everything right now...including this Lenten study of Jesus..But I've learned that "giving up" gets you nowhere. And here I am, in the middle of a painful nowhere. So, I am very angrily and desperately continuing this study because I don't know what else to do right in this moment. Idk...if you pray...pray for me. Pray for my family. Or send love... I'd appreciate anything positive right now. thanks.
"There can be no peace without forgiveness.
Forgiveness is one of the central lessons of life and teachings of Jesus. It plays a powerful role in the spiritual health of every person. It also plays a powerful role in the spiritual health of every person. It also plays a role in every relationship, and it is essential to the life of any healthy community, whether that community is as small as a family or as large as a nation.
When we forgive, we share the love of God with others and rid ourselves of dangerous poisons that can prevent us from growing spiritually. But that doesn't make it easy.
'Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'How many times shall I forgive a brother or sister who has sinned against me? As many as seven times?' Jesus said to him, 'Not seven times, but seventy-seven times'' (Matthew 18:21)
Without forgiveness our souls begin to fill with anger, resentment, frustration, and anxiety. Choosing not to forgive someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. When we choose not to forgive, we turn our backs on God and the best versions of our selves.
Everybody needs to forgive somebody. Whom do you need to forgive? Who is God inviting you to forgive?"
Sending you all lots of love.
Go change the world. Do it for Elijah.
Thank you.
Oh sweet boy.
I think the person I need to learn to forgive the most is myself...
but sometimes it feels impossible.
I'm so sorry.
I love you so much.
Always.
