Nevyn User ID: 27135621 South Africa 12/29/2012 08:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Mark 11:25 "And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." Luke 7:47-48 “…Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.”And he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”(Jesus speaking to the accusers and the woman caught in adultery) Matthew 6:14 "For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you" 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "Love is patient and kind;love does not envy or boast;it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way;it is not irritable or resentful;it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." Ephesians 4:31-32 "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." |

We're all given Gods greatest power, the power of love & forgiveness. Without those two, I wouldn't know where my life would be without them. |

We are all damaged goods, every single one of us. Some a little more then others, but we are all pretty much a disaster. It is only through Jesus that we can made whole again in Him and He can heal our wounds, bumps and bruises. :love215985: |

How do you convince them that they are forgiven?The pain and shame runs deep. I would offer to walk along side them for awhile, because forgiveness isn't something you can convince someone with words. Shame and guilt take a long time to be removed, and I have found what helps is to demonstrate to the other person that they have incredible worth and value to me: just as they are. I have come to realize that the most powerful words in the world aren't "I love you" but "You matter to me!" We become like that to which we are devoted. - Choose wisely. |
