Even though it gets old…

Forgiveness is the scent that the rose leaves on
the heel that crushes it.

Matthew 18:21-22

Then Peter went up to him and said, “Lord, how often must I forgive my
brother if he wrongs me? As often as seven times?   Jesus answered,
“Not seven, I tell you, but seventy seven times.”

Its not only nice guys who finish last, friends. The nice girls deal with it too. And recently I have been finding that the ones who I love the most, are the ones that hurt me the most. So do I just forget about them, ignore them, pretend they don’t exist?? I wish I could. One side of me wants to. But when its people you care about, you forgive. Now, I may not continue pouring into them and trying to talk to them all the time, but I do still want them to know I am here for them if they need me. The trust might be broken. However, I am not called to trust everyone; am called to love everyone. And thats exactly what I am trying to learn right now.
