If God can heal the hurts and pains that I have gone through with my family....I know He will and can heal everybody elses realtionships. (If we want him to heal it) I know that pride was at the root of my healing and through lots of prayer things are better now.Jean Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071674143885766768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3754441266703439562.post-36740452944048418142009-12-03T14:25:32.584-06:002009-12-03T14:25:32.584-06:00I believe that along with relationships, comes som...I believe that along with relationships, comes something that for some is a challenge to do and that is "forgiveness". God tells us to forgive others and pray for them....just like Kay mentioned Matthew 5:44, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you". I find that my enemy a lot of times comes from a relationship, past and present, and that I must pray and forgive the person and/or the situation. Even though I may not want to...this is God's word. We have studied forgiveness and I just feel like these two things can go hand in hand. Thank -you Ms. Kay for teaching us God's word.DanyelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3754441266703439562.post-62924668929393773952009-12-01T16:32:51.050-06:002009-12-01T16:32:51.050-06:00Family, as well as friends, are a special gift fro...Family, as well as friends, are a special gift from the Lord and though we love and appreciate these gifts sometimes they are overwhelming so thanks for the reminder that we, too, can be overwhelming a lot of the times! Thank you for sharing your heart........I learn soooo very much from you and your lessons, devotions, etc...and I appreciate these gentle reminders and pray that I remember and use them daily!
