Hi all I'm here.. Just thought I'd stop in and welcome my gabbers back also.. I love ya hun an' I'm so glad ur back! I hope this thread will be a blessing to me and that I experience much healing/learn about forgiveness

Good morning everyone!! Another day to learn about God's forgiveness of our sins and how we are to forgive others.

If you're down today, remember a time God blessed you in an incredible way.. how you never say it coming and place that in your heart. Today, I'm sure He can do the same thing... put your faith in Him.

A great devotional I found:

Matthew 6:14-15 Your heavenly Father will forgive you if you forgive those who sin against you; but if you refuse to forgive them, he will not forgive you.

Colossians 3:13 Be gentle and ready to forgive; never hold grudges. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
Forgiveness is an action that most of us struggle with. Over the next several weeks, I want to look at four facets of forgiveness, which God has been trying to make me understand over the years. They are forgiving others, forgiving us, asking God for forgiveness and accepting God’s forgiveness.
Eight years ago a business partner committed unimaginable wrongs against me. They were not only immoral but also illegal. These transgressions were crippling. I will never forget a year or so after this event when this person came to me asking for forgiveness. I am not proud of the fact that I simply said, “Sorry, I can’t forgive you. I am not over this yet.” This past Monday morning, this person showed up at my office to ask again for forgiveness. I was surprised at how God has softened my heart over the years, and I quickly assured him that all was forgiven. I then said, “just forget about it.”
By Tuesday morning, my carnal self was asking, “Have I really forgiven him?” "Do I really want to forgive him?" Jesus’ words to Peter in the passage below echoed over and over again in my head. I think I understand this passage now. Forgiveness is an action that never ends. We keep forgiving seventy times seven.
Matthew 18:21-22 Then Peter came to him and asked, “Sir, how often should I forgive a brother who sins against me? Seven times?” “No!” Jesus replied, “seventy times seven!"
When we truly forgive someone who has wronged us, it is one of the most freeing feelings that we can experience. Gone are our mental prisons created by harboring hard feeling

Morning everyone

As you go about your day, do it with the knowledge that you are not alone. One walks beside you and puts out a loving hand to steady you if you stumble, lifts your burdens when you ask Him too, gives you strength for each new challenge, and loves you more than you could ever comprehend. His name is Jesus, you are never alone or forsaken but rather cherished and lavished with blessings that you can't even see. Have a blessed day.

Gabby kneels on a pillow in front of the cross and starts to pray. She allows her heart to open, and allows the Spirit to enter her body, soul, and mind... healing tears flow as she prays with every bit of her heart.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for bringing me back to my CF home to have fellowship with those who have never stopped being dear to my heart, and never will. Thank you for the hope that one day all friendships in Christ will be restored and that those who are not in my life may know by Your voice whispering softly to their hearts...that I have truly forgiven and have asked forgiveness and that the precious memories of them will always be in my heart waiting and praying for reconciliation in Christ.
I thank You for the healing of my broken heart, and ask that each day more and more of those who have been hurt, can feel their pain lifting and peace and comfort filling them.
I ask for a blessing on all those who have posted in this thread and a blessing on those who have not.
I pray for the sick and suffering in need who have no one to pray for them.
I pray for the scarred and disfigured due to accident, illness and birth defect and the doctors who are looking for Your miracles to heal them.
I pray for the lonely and those who have noone to comfort them, please let them feel Your love.
I pray for all the needs of CF forums and ask You to let Your love fill all those here.
If there is anyone who does not wish me well and might not feel Christian love for me ..I ask for a special blessing on them and a loving healing in their hearts.
I pray for those who are no longer here and ask for healing and forgiveness and that their pain will be lifted and reconciliation may occur.
I pray that today mountains will move and miracles will prevail.
I thank You and praise You dear Father and pray all this according to Your perfect will, as I ask this all in Jesus's name.
Amen

Great Devotional Dear Sister In Christ, Love you very much Tatiana

Thoughts I've Shared Since Jan 1

The best thing about a new year, is the old one is gone never be thought of again, except in lessons learned.

Dust off your feet, leave the past where it belongs and move on in God in a great new day.

Give the Glory to God for forgiving and accepting forgiveness, and go further by not dwelling in it

What an awesome God we serve!

Gabs

Gabby greets her sister Tammy with open arms and embraces her with tears in her eyes. Good to see you dear sister.
I hope you will join me again and share your thoughts on forgiveness and prayer.
I offer you the kiss of peace...Gabby kisses both her cheeks.
Forgiveness heals hearts, and a great Amen to that.

I found it and I said yes, God wants my Sister to read this. I thought it was very appropriate for what you are going through in your real life. Amazing how God guides us.

Well I thank you for that. Interesting thing God showed me with that situation....even Judas Isacariot had purpose in Gods plan, I see that what happened was Gods plan to move me somewhere else and there is much happening with that so........I chose to completely be forgiving and look forward to another new life to begin in September, maybe July or August.

I found this on forgiveness and thought it a good piece to share for today.
Let us read it and meditate on the thoughts in it together, be blessed.

Inspirational Quotes & Stories: There are No Accidents

[FONT=verdana, helvetica, sans-serif]I'm not someone who believes in coincidences or accidents. I believe with all my heart that everything happens for a reason. I believe with all my heart that everything that happens, no matter how you choose to perceive it, happens for your own good, so that you might learn something from it. I believe with all my heart that when you meet someone, be it a homeless person, a person at a party, or an individual through the Internet, there is a reason for your meeting. There is something to be learned through the experience. The relationship could last a minute or a lifetime, but it has been offered to you as a gift to assist you on your journey toward becoming a more caring human being, toward understanding your fellow man or woman better, toward becoming more Godlike. [/FONT]

[FONT=verdana, helvetica, sans-serif]When I meet another human, I try to see the gift that has been placed before me. I look for the opportunity to remember the perfection in my brother or sister. I know that if I can see it in a so-called stranger, I can see it in myself. For, in my heart, I believe that we all are one, that we all are a perfect part of God. From your homeless brother in the street to Jesus himself, we all are a perfect part of God, not one is greater or lesser than the other. And it is in seeing and experiencing this that I remember that I am also a perfect part of God. I forget this sometimes but I know that forgetting is simply a way of remembering better. So when the gift of the presence of another human is offered to me, the gift I receive is the opportunity to remember my perfection by allowing them to choose their own way, and the gift I offer them is to make their time here, be it a moment or a lifetime, a little gentler, kinder and more loving.[/FONT]

An Evening Devotional by Joyce Meyer
~Something I think will touch our hearts~

God Has Not Forgotten You
God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
~1 Corinthians 10:13 NIV

The world is full of people struggling with trials and temptations and looking for a way out. If you have ever felt pressed on every side and couldn't find an escape, or confused and didn't know what to do, you know what a desperate and lonely feeling that can be.

The Word tells you God is faithful and He will provide a way for you, but He doesn't always show us the way immediately. That is when you must wait... and trust.

Waiting on God purifies your faith and builds character in you. You may not like waiting, but God's way is perfect! So be assured God has not forgotten you. Trust Him, and in His time He will reveal His perfect plan for you. While you're waiting, don't forget to enjoy your life.
