Forgiving Fast and Completely

By -
Today I made a very good friend aggravated with me. She attempted to let out her frustrations to her husband via text message. Unfortunately she accidentally send the text to ME!

I learned a long time ago to forgive fast and completely. This message is sent home to my heart each time I pray to my God asking for forgiveness of my sins and for sending His Son to die for me.

Forgive fast and completely as God does to you. Don't let anger eat away at you and Satan take control!

    Oh no...that had to feel bad. For both of you!! But you're absolutely right, a lot of us {myself included} hold onto the negative things in our lives for far too long! Great advice!

    Uh oh. I've been there before, on the receiving such as yourself. They actually realized it before I got to read it though as I hadn't checked my phone for a little while. They sent me another text apologizing, so I got the two together.

    I agree, and can honestly say that I too probably hold onto negative things a little too long. I can do the forgiving fast and completely, but the forgetting part is what allows me to hold onto it and that sometimes will morph into anger again when brought up. I won't ever be able to forget the way that some people treat me or the things they have done. So although I might be able to forgive them to allow myself to pray for them and hope for the best for them, I will never forget that I had to use my power of prayer for something that might have been a bad thing in my life.

    Thanks for the reminder... it's such a challenge not to hold on to things... but if the Lord did that to me I'd be in biggg trouble!

Prayer Request Box

By -
Hi everyone! I know this is an inspirational blog so Casondra wanted to added a prayer request box to the sidebar.  I thought it was a GREAT idea.  Anyone should be able to post on it even if they aren't a friend/follower, or you can request for someone else.  It will probably show up as unknown if they aren't our friend/follower though, which is perfectly OK too.  It's about all of us praying as 'prayer warriors'.  That doesn't mean that we have to automatically have a name or complete specifics to do that. I did want to say that it has a time lapse on it though in order to go through the system.  It may take a few minutes for your request to actually show up in the box, same with replies.  We tested it tonight and I had one that took upwards of 5 minutes.  So don't think it's broken, it's working, just takes patience.  If we start having them take 15 or more minutes and it still doesn't show up AFTER you refresh your browser, let me know.

What's it all about?

I've mentioned Katie before on my other blog. Actually...she's a follower here at 'Enjoying Life One Cup at a Time'.  I absolutely ADORE her blog (www.imperfectpeople.net)....and today's post was no exception.  I wanted to share it with you guys. (and I hope she doesn't mind) but it was just too powerful NOT to share! God doesn’t work by Karma. Good for good, evil for evil. And I’m thankful because I certainly don’t deserve how good he has been. Everything that happens, good or bad isn’t always just about us. We all search for meaning in life’s circumstances but the real (sometimes hard) truth is... IT’S NOT ABOUT US. God is a lot more important than us .  He loves us no doubt.  But I think he gets a little chuckle watching us trying to make it all about us.  I can’t think of anyone else who was raised from the dead, for whom the calendar changed from BC to AD, or for whom people centuries before his birth (even outside of the bible) predicted hundred
