Amen, AerithResurrected-san! We better watch out or we're going to be having church! lol

I think that forgiveness and love are very close. If you forgive someone it doesn't mean you automatically love and trust the person. The person who wronged you could keep on wronging you but if you forgive them it makes the burden easier for you to carry.

My mother went to Swaziland Africa this year on a mission trip. They had a service where everyone would come and tape the names of people who had wronged them up on a cross. And they would forgive them. After the service the pastor's wife came up to my mother and told her that her brothers and father would abuse her and her mother when she was a child. She was pregnant at the time and her three year old daughter would always say, "Mommy's gonna give me a baby brother." She'd always think, "No. I don't want a boy. I don't want him to hurt my daughter."
But on the night of the service she taped the names of her brothers and father to the cross and forgave them. And she told my mother that she wanted a little boy now. And she wasn't going to hold a grudge against her father and brothers any longer.
That my friends, is the power of forgiveness.

That's beautiful. That woman had all those thoughts bottled up inside, she just let them out slowly, and did the right thing. plus, she did it through God!!

When Jesus was dying on the cross, and the Romans and the people were mocking Him, do you know what He said to God? "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do."---Luke 23:34 When Jesus died on the cross that day, He bore every single sin that the world had, is and is going to commit. All the sin. His blood was and is being used to wash the sins of man away, so we can have another chance to go to Heaven and be saved. What awesome forgiveness and compassion!! ^_^

I agree. No one should keep feelings held up inside of them. I know that the hard way.
The only person I ever told I hated them was my half sister. She came to live with us about 4 years ago...
She was very vain and self-centered. This caused her to be mean to me. She kept tearing at me and tearing at me until one day I snapped and screamed that I hatted her. And at the time I really did. But I knew in the back of my mind that it was wrong of me to do that. She had lost her real mother when she was only 13 and she tried to fish for compliments and tell herself she was so great because she was insecure. We finaly made up and she began to change. And now I forgave her. When you keep anger inside of you it turns into hate and hate will only get you into a load of crap. To put it blatenly.

Not forgiving people will only hurt you and them. Nomatter what they did to you. Even if they don't say they're sorry we should still forgive them.

God's love is so much different from human love, though. :( Humans tend to be biased on who their love and affection go to, usually to those who they feel deserve it, not to who should really deserve it. It's kind of sad... but when someone does forgive right, it's beautiful.

Hate tends to destroy so many things, and without forgiving, hate can be a force to reckon with. :no:

Pain is a breeding ground for hate. If someone or something causes you pain, you start hating it...

Baaaah *brain gets clouded*

I don't think anyone can truly hate someone they truly love... no matter what.

*hopes that makes sense* :whistle:

It makes sense. It reminds me of what my mother always says. "What your feeling is real but it isn't true."
You may feel like you hate someone you love but it isn't true.

Of course! You always know you love them, and you know you'll eventually turn back to them when your temper has wickered out. ^_^ By you, Punk, I think what you're really feeling is irritation or frustration, not really hate... because then you feel like repenting for it, unlike if you really hated someone... it would be okay to you. :mellow:

I remember reading a story once, in which a child loved his mother, and at the end, he said that he could hate her any time he could - she divorced his dad - but he always knew that she wouldn't hurt him, even if he did.

I've jusy had an arguement with my brother and my eyes are all puffed up from crying. :sad: I feel as if i hate him, but I truly don't. When he said that he wasn't going to talk to me again, I cried even more, because he was hurting me so much. I can't bear it when I fight with him, but he can be so arrogant, and this time, as always, he made me snap. But i still love him, no matter what. :cry:

Oh AR.... :sad:

I'm sorry to hear about your fight with your brother - and know that he will still love you and adore you - and probably said such hurtful things out of love and frustration...I'm sure he doesn't hate you, and it's so good to know you don't hate him too. :huggle: Siblings aren't siblings without the occasional bad fight. :huggle:

A bit more love makes the world go round.

:huggle: :huggle: :huggle:

I think that people need to stop putting more hate out upon the universe. It has reached its capacity, people!
