I have been doing some thinking....

I was pondering the other day about my life thus far.. almost 31 years to be exact. I was wondering if I could go back what would I change or what wouldn't I change. I came with a lot of things that I would change, but then I realized that all those situations in my life were designed by God to grow my faith and grow closer to him! sometimes I mess up and then wonder why did I do that, sometimes I try to do what is right but things end up messed up. For instance I had a problem with someone who was close to me so I tried to resolve it by telling this person how I had had negative feelings towards her. But despite my yearning of wanted to do the right thing it turned into a big mess. then I wonder why did I event try to do the right thing. But now I know that it forced me to be a stronger person. because I had to make the first move towards doing the right thing. In the end this person still has not acknowledge anything negative between us but I still have to see her so its making me stronger and forcing me to me the better person. so I know that I have done the right thing so know all I can do is pray for her even when I don't want to and guess what it works!!! I the Bible is right when is says pray for your enemies!! she isn't an enemy per-say but we defiantly have not gotten along the past several years. Does this make any sense. well I think this verse sums it up.
" And when you stand praying, If you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you." Mark 11:25
Jesus forgave those who wronged him even when He was hanging on the cross dieing for me!! I should always do the same! Forgiveness is a very important thing in this life! everyday I ask God to forgive me for the things that I did that I know are wrong and even for the things I don't. And know that he died to save me from my sins helps me sleep easier at night! Thank- you Jesus fro taking my place on the cross, Thank- you Jesus for forgiving me of my wrongs, and thank you for loving with an Everlasting Love.
