Life’s been kinda depressing right now. being left out. even when I did something to “have fun and release stress and tension”, it was regarded as a wrong thing. wrong because apparently he thinks that I did it without telling him.
I may be hurt. I don’t know if he feels the same way. But I always think that his love is getting less and less everyday. But I should learn to let go. Not just let go and erase you like it used to be. But sincerely let go and forgive. And wishing you have a good life.
“Forgiveness isn’t a command to “just play nice.” That requires a flight into a la-la land that has no reality in the real redemption story. Sweeping dirt under a carpet is no way to clean a house. Neither is it healthy to deal with those who are bullies, gossips, liars, deceitful, and a host of other forms of overt and covert relational violence that riddle our churches, schools, homes, communities, neighborhoods, and all relationships. It just gives them more power and permission to reek havoc on those who are more vulnerable.
And let’s face it: everyone struggles to love well. Or maybe it’s better said, we’re just poor at it. Violations of love (otherwise known as “sin”) infect even the best of relationships, making the need for forgiveness–either giving it or receiving it–an ongoing necessity in order for relationships to deepen and grow. No healthy relationships exist apart from a genuine heart of forgiveness that longs for restoration (which, in reality, is the Gospel story replayed day in and day out within the context of our relationships).”
