Hello Sapphire,
Sadly, I think that word was/is for me. I have had "GREAT" difficulties in forgiving my dad and my aunt for marrying two weeks after my mom died...and I have been holding a grudge for about a year and a half.

I actually would love to forgive my aunt and my dad..but I don't know how to say...IN LOVE...how and what I have felt since they married. And, I don't want to rock the boat, as I am known as the black sheep of the family because I "chose" to be Christian! So, though my heart cries to be closer with my earthly dad, he's a hard nut to crack, and my aunt is just totally mean to me and my daughter and "MY grandchildren". Like they are not welcomed in my mothers home...where now my aunt lives...and she says "they are too messy" for her! But with "her own grandchildren" they could probably throw crap at her..and it's all good! So, I am...as you can see...STILL REALLY MAD AT HER!

So, if you have some way that you think I could help to make amends with her and my dad...I AM ALL EARS SIS!!! I have tried being overly nice, I've called them while they have been living in Florida for the winter...every other day...but auntie.."whom I have always loved" won't even pick up and say hello to me! So, I talk to dad, which...he while in Florida has nothing nice to say to me, my brothers or any of his grandkids...so what do you do with that?

I soooo know I "need" to forgive them all...on her side..my cousins/stepbro's and one sister....and my "own father" who has nothing nice to say lately..my feelings are hurt..no matter what subject I bring up..he says "he doesn't want to hear it" and dismisses anything I have to say...I feel like an orphan, and I am overwhelming sad about all of this...especially the part about "I DO LOVE THEM AND WANT TO FORGIVE THEM...but I hardly get a chance to..when something new hits the fan to be mad about all over again!

I'm listening... your sis, hannah

Aw Sister....you ARE dealing/overcoming it! God has placed these things on your heart...and He will help you deal with them! Be encouraged.....do not beat yourself up over it.

There is a saying..."self condemnation....once it enters your life...the devil can just walk away....his job is done."

Do not walk in self condemnation!


*Reaches through screen and gives you a great big hug!*

Sister "you are sooo right" about not condemning myself...but as you can see...I know I am not being forgiving of my own flesh and blood. That is why I feel like I need to do something about it all, just haven't figured out what yet! So, like you said...God is teaching and showing me "whatever?"..still not quite sure what, but trusting HE will help me to overcome! Amen!!!

And...I AM TOTALLY FEELING THAT HUG SIS! I AM REALLY! GOT GOOSEBUMPS FROM THAT BIG OLE HUG! I love you! your sis, hannah still a little sad, but better...cuz of YOU Sis!!! and more

Hannah I recommend reading Total Forgiveness by RT Kendal, it's an excellent book and would be helpful to you right now, I believe a lot of what you are feeling is hurt, and God wants to heal every bit of that, maybe all you have to do for now is tell your dad and your aunt that you love them, it doesn't mean that you need to forget what they have done at this moment but in recognizing it just to be able to put it aside and show God's love shining through you and it may not mean a great relationship straight away, but the Lord will help you and when you tell your dad that you love him you will feel any unforgiveness in you start to go . Praying for you sis!

Dear sis,
I hear you and I could read a book about forgiving, but I have to at least relay this..

Been there and done that with them both! I try to pretend when I am with them...that all is well in the world between them and me...but as you can see...saying that "I love them" so far isn't healing me...or at least I don't feel it...though it may take a long long long time! Which dad is 80, so I better get over how he ignores me before it is too late!

The pain has me at the moment in a tail spin downwards into feeling so alone. I do have lots of family, but when most...even to your face...have basically told you...you are worthless and stupid...it is really hard to just forgive them...especially when "they" make you feel unworthy of anything...not even being loved! And...I KNOW FOR SURE GOD LOVES ME..yet even He feels far away for the moment...cuz of my own pain, and I do keep praying...Lord bring me YOUR PEACE IN ALL OF THIS...so far...still praying that prayer since mom died... And, yes...I guess I sound today like I am having a big ole pity party for myself...but I think I am just starting to deal with it all, as I put it away when I thought my dad was hurting and I didn't want him sadder than he already was, but now it is "eating me up inside", and I need my Lord to help me.

Hey, maybe someone will have a "word" about how to face all of this when I am too sad to think about it all any more, and being broken on top of everything and kinda imobile isn't helping...so just some prayers would be nice! And, sis..I'll check my library for the book, thanks! hannah

Hannah what I an getting is that you have been trying to forgive them so much, but your biggest problem is not being able to forgive yourself for the hurt you are feeling, and he wants you to be healed of that.

No longer orphans

Our Father has adopted us into his family,
We are no longer orphans without an abode,
He calls us His children so know you are loved,
For we will find rest and peace in God’s family.

Abba Father loves us and says we are accepted,
Chase after His heart, for He calls us His beloved,
Just love Him and seek to pursue His Presence,
Daily He will reveal more to us of His gentleness.

So long to be holy for He is a Holy God,
He draws us into the secret place alone with God,
Our Father is gracious, merciful and good to us,
Though undeserving He showers blessings on us..

Our Father gently chastises us when we get it wrong,
Repent and He says “My child you are forgiven,”
He is patient and kind and does not hold past sins against us,
As far as the East is From the West He removed our transgressions from us.

And we can enjoy that sweet intimacy with our Heavenly Father,
For we are sons and daughters of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
He calls us His children and says “Come child, come up hither,
I want to reveal more to you as promised in My Word.”

hannah, Sometimes i think that in these types of situations the best thing is to just be totally honest even if it isn't all polished and perfect.
I have sometimes had relationships where I just said to them , I don't want to have offense between us and I don't know how to fix it...I might even get upset again tomorrow. But I just want you to know that I still love you and I am doing my best to somehow communicate that. if I knew how to fix it ,I would...

Not sure if that can be done in your situation but I guess what I am saying is don't let it stop you from trying to at least express your good intentions to them if you can't think of a polished and perfect way to communicate with them.

Someone or something is waiting on you. You need to release it to God because that person isn't going to wait much longer.

Whoa! What do you mean by this?? Do you have any further revelation??

Hannah~

I have a very simple idea...........but you can not believe how much POWER God displays when you begin to follow this idea. I have been shown by the Holy Spirit that we are to pray blessings over the people who hurt us. Seek God for a particular portion of scripture......use it as a prayer....placing the names of those you are praying for in the text of the scripture. It makes the prayer and scripture take on a very personal tone. God even gave me a very specific passage of scripture to pray over as a blessing over a specific person in my life. It is very amazing how He has used this concept in my life. It seems very simple............maybe even 'too' simple. But, I would highly reccommend that you seek God over this idea. I feel your pain and anguish. I pray His peace will begin to flow into you and through you. May you begin to feel the healng taking place inside your heart. Father, I pray right now that you take this pain away.........begin healing Hannah........begin restoring her.......hold her close.........Shine your face upon her...and give her peace. Thank you, Father!!!! I pray this in the precious and holy name of Jesus Christ. Amen!!!

Numbers 6:24-26 (paraphrased)

(May) The LORD bless you,Hannah and keep you:

(May) The LORD make his face shine upon you, Hannah and be gracious unto you:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.

AMEN and AMEN
