I still feel love for somebody who hurt me in the past.
I forgive him but the love is still there.
I deliberately stayed away from this situation so that I can heal.
It upsets me more that others have assumed I didn't have a church life because I wasn't in his church anymore- I since have been blessed in other churches and the Lord has shown me many wonders. Sometimes people think that if you are not in their particular church circle that you are in none- yet we have brothers and sisters all over the world.
I am so thankful for the love that never fails in Jesus. He is truly my rock.
Yet I know that I have love and affection to give so perhaps meeting somebody new could bring about the end of this connection. Then I could see him and his circle without feeling the remaining pain.
It is also important to me that these particular brothers and sisters understand that I still have my faith - it makes the situation worse when I hear things that aren't fully true- based on assumptions. Not that I am claiming to be the perfect Christian.
I would like to think some day I can meet this person that hurt so deeply and feel nothing- yet wish him well as my brother.
Also that I stop caring so much what others think. I worry particularly that other Christians judge me. I know guilt brings me to the cross- yet I suffer from false guilt also.
What I pray is this - Lord show me where I am wrong- yet also for clarity's sake show me where I am right.
That I will fully forgive also and see situations clearly in Jesus' eyes
Thank you
