Your post is great! Well spoken.
I don&#...Hi Cindy,<br />Your post is great! Well spoken.<br />I don't know which is more difficult, forgiving or reconciliation? But I know for Christians, forgiving is not optional. I Know that forgiving is a choice I must make, even if I may not feel like it. The Holy Spirit then begins the healing of my heart, and allows me to see that person through Jesus eyes. (this certainly does not happen overnight for me :o)<br /><br />Unfortunately, this is not a one time thing, in that there always seems to be more forgiving lessons on the horizon. The Lord teaches me something new with each trial, lesson in forgiveness. (hope I'm making sense :o)<br /><br />Re: Reconciliation;<br />I have made at least 3 attempts of reconciliation to a family member of mine. Fault lies in both of us over years of various things; however, the cutting of ties was decided by them, not I, and they chose to do so to all extended family as well. <br /><br />I came across Matthew 5:23-24, about reconciliation, and thats what lead to making the attempts to reconcile with my family member. After failed reconciliations, I searched online for an interpretation of the scripture, and the one I found turned out to be what road I would be left to take, after my attempts to reconcile were ignored.<br /><br />Below is a Quote from the interpretation on Matthew 5:23-24 I found about 2 years ago, and wrote it in my notebook. found at www.newchurch.org<br /><br />"If we approach someone in anger, then he will not be able to hear us, he will be too busy defending himself. Our words will not be of use unless they come from love, and our spoken in charity. Where efforts to work out differences fail, and when it is possible to avoid that person, it is a wise course to take." www.newchurch.org<br /><br />Unfortunately, this is where I stand with my family member, after making attempts, and all were ignored, I believe the Lord was just saying I needed to move on, stay clear of them if possible, and He will take care of everything in His time. Sorry for the long comment. I pray that you will have a blessed reconciliation.
