-Teach me how to forgive. I so want to be able to live my
life without having ANY hard feelings towards ANYONE... 
hmmmm "hard" feelings... that sums it up perfectly.  



+ There is something I want you to always remember. Keep this in the forefront of your mind and heart. Think about what I said on the cross: “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”

People who wound you really have no idea of the emotional and psychological damage their actions can cause. They are unthinking…often insensitive…many times concerned with themselves…but most times, your injury is a secondary thing….not their purposeful intent. They truly know not what they do.

Because I understood this so well, I was able to separate the actions of an angry, stirred-up mob from the deeds of the foolish, weak people My Father sent me to save. His deep love overshadowed Me even in My most desperate situation, and kept My vision clear. His love knows no measure. That day, I showed you the way to love your enemies and those who hurt you: pray a blessing on them. Ask the Father to forgive them. Refrain from judging their motives or from thinking you know their hearts. Leave that to your Father, who keeps you safe and protects your heart even as He did Mine despite the pain. Freedom was what I came to buy.  Because you are in Me (in Me you live and move and have your being) your responses to all that could disappoint you or hurt you have been redeemed. You can expect to be filled with that living water gushing out of you.  That same relationship I had with the Father is yours. You are an heir apparent!! Yes….it is clear! There is power that resides in you to love just like your Papa loves. So, get ready to meet your day with high expectation of the Spirit’s empowering. He will never fail you. Shalom!
