Its hard to like everyone in life ; people can and will do you wrong and you will likely have a dislike of them after that experience. The bible teaches us to forgive and forget however hard it may be , we arent going to move on in life if we dont forgive people. When you bring the person down you dislike your are bringing god down as that person is God's creation. We were once enemies of God until our sins were forgiven by our saviour Jesus Christ. If you dislike someone , think about them just now and pray for them , the Lord will bless you .The only person your hurting disliking them is yourself.
I have really been encouraged by reading all your posts....I believe that the one written by Gillian entitled forgive and forget is the most challenging for most people......If everyone lived their lives this way... loving everyone forgiving everyone quickly any wrongs did to them...then we would have the kind of families,friends that people would love to know also the kind of Church that everyone would want to be part off .This Easter we will all be reminded again that The Lord Jesus asked His Father God to forgive the people who had been involved in plotting to kill Him and the people who nailed Him to a cross. But some people can't find it in them to forgive people the simplest of errors!!!!We can do all things Through Christ who strengthens us. Well done Gillian for highlighting this x x God would surely bless a Church united in showing LOVE
ReplyDeleteThank you Lillian for taking the time to read my blog and for commenting on my forgive and forget post. There is so much truth in what you've written as Jesus paid the price for our sins and God forgives us our sins. Thanks again , God Bless.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is a challenge sometimes to pray for those we dislike or who wrong us. I think also that they can be the ones whom you want to see saved and changed.
ReplyDeleteI am really encouraged by your blog and think that you've written some really interesting, inspiring things.

Your absolutely right Chole , i have found difficulty in blessing my enemies but i have found it helps me stop being angry at them because i remind myself they are the Lords creation. Thank you so much for your kind words and for following my blog :). Take Care and God Bless xx.
