A Word form PJ
“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.”
Matthew 6:14 NIV
Total transparency on this one.
This one right here is incredibly difficult to do. When you’ve had someone sin against you in the most evil of ways, how is it possible to forgive them? I wish I had all the answers to this one, but I do not. I struggle daily to forgive a person that has brought great harm to my wife, my kids, and my loved ones. Truth is I can deal when someone comes after me. What I have a difficult time doing is forgiving someone when they cause the ones I love great pain and troubles.
What I’ve had to do is pray harder than I have ever prayed. I’ve had to pray for something that in my mind I didn’t want. I keep on praying and asking God to help me forgive. I am trusting it will come.
A work in progress,

One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do and I have to ask God to keep working on me. I am a work in progress I guess you could say.
It is difficult to do for sure, I wish I could say I have mastered this, but I would be lying if I said I did.
Yes, forgiving others that have hurt those we love  it’s very hard. I have come to the conclusion that forgiveness is a faith journey.
