Forgive?
Sounds good.
Forget? I'm not sure could.
They say time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting.
Is forgive a néw slang for tar and feathering?
True. God forgives, but that doesn’t mean one escapes His punishment.
And I’d bet punishment is doled out based on the level of willfulness and egregiousness of the evil perpetrated
The bigger questions:
Do these people even believe they committed a wrong?
Are they remorseful?
How are they working to make up for their acts?
Or, are they just sorry the scam is up?
forgiveness is scary because it directly involves God. failure to forgive someone - God can't hear your prayers (pride is in the way) mark 11:24-26. further, unforgiveness turns you over to the tormentors (demons) matt 18:33-35. God basically says people naturally do evil stuff and cause transgression that requires forgiveness from the victim. if the victim fails to forgive, she becomes like her tormentor and evil spreads.
forgiving someone who has maimed and/or killed your loved one is a BIG one. how do you forgive someone who purposely, with malaise and intent and greed killed your loved one?
i know unforgiveness is for us, as to not eat us alive, but to let them off, no, it's not going to happen. they need to completely repent and do good in order for forgiveness.
i was raised by a narcissist mother, i've finally broken ties with her in the past 6 months, she is 85. i still pay her bills and make sure i call the nursing home to check on her, but she will not change despite the many borders i've put in place. nothing but the same ole same ole, over and over and over to the point it has affected my health.
you have to come to a time and place where you need to protect yourself and those around you from demons.
