I Feel Good!

So- many of you know the trouble we have had at church and it goes a lot deeper than I have let on with this blog, but you get the gist. Anyway- there was a person at church who really did some awful things to me and they tried their best to destroy me emotionally and mentally. ( I mean, this guy went to great lengths....) Well , I just want to announce that I gave him forgiveness a few days ago and I haven't felt this good in a long time. I realized that being angry with him was only hurting me. It was making me bitter and it was consuming my thoughts. So I forgave him more for my own good and I just let go of the whole thing. I gave it to God to deal with. I don't wish him harm and in fact I pray for the man and I hope that he will change. I don't hate him - I love him, but only through Christ am I able to love someone who has hurt me like he did. If I expect God to forgive me of all the things I do then I better be dishing it out to others. It was much easier than I thought it was going to be. I am working on "refueling" my spiritual tank and it is going well. I look forward to see what the next few months hold for us.
