I know that there are times in life during which we must decide at what cost do we allow ourselves to be influenced by people that some might consider a negative influence in our lives and then it raises the question what next. How do we decide who stays in our lives and who goes. i know that it is a question that one must ask depending on the circumstances that arise, but the thing is regardless of the impact that they have on you or what they have done. doesn't that bring about a second chance at a renewed friendship? aren't we supposed to forgive those who have wronged us and others? I mean isn't that the right thing to do? then why is it so hard to forgive someone? There are plenty of things that i have done in my life and begged for forgiveness and i have yet to be forgiven and i don't understand it because the same people that i have wronged have wronged me and i have forgiven them.
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.
Is that not a true statement? If we are th children of GOD, then why do we hate? why do we fight? It makes no sense to me.
