But when I get mad, I either get mad at myself or at everybody and anybody. I have forgiven people so many times, but should I forgive myself?<BR/><BR/>I think sometimes there are no things to be forgiven. If just everything could be forgiven it would probably all be so easy, but there would probably be no point left in forgiving. Can you forgive human for inventing war? Can you forgive the person that bullied you in first grade? Can you forgive God? You can, but sometimes there is no reason to. If you have a reason to however, then do so.<BR/><BR/>As forgiving can be a good thing.<BR/>Sometimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8045541.post-33118712751185371482006-11-14T13:42:00.000-06:002006-11-14T13:42:00.000-06:00After we lost Ayannah I temporarily lost my abilit...After we lost Ayannah I temporarily lost my ability to communicate with God. I was so hurt and sad. To add to the mixture of emotions, I felt guilt at my negative feelings towards God! One day I finally was able to say, "Father, I am really hurt in my inability to understand You and what's happened here. I am mad at You and I just can't talk to You right now. Please forgive me, be patient with me, and listen to my heart." I was then, through the Spirit, relieved of the guilt. I truly felt that I was given permission to be mad at God, something that was a foreign idea to me before. Because of that permission granted, I think I was able to, with greater ease and health, begin to process my grief (which I'm still doing). My anger towards God didn't fester; I was able to see Him as on my side again and not the one who inflicted the pain.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163449866507673974noreply@blogger.com
