Don't Give Up!

It is too easy to get discouraged, disappointed and almost long to just give up on life. Day after day we might have more emotional, or physical, hurts that give us a deep sense of failure. It takes daily practice, year after year, to remember who is behind the turmoil in our lives. A person is causing the hurt, but we must keep in mind the one whose job is to destroy us, above all, hinder our relationship with God. The person is being used by satan. We can be hurt, get angry or scream. I have found only one way that we can overcome these very real hurts and forgive. We must pray for that one, even though he/she breaks our heart. Now for their sake but for our own. If we carry hate or bitterness toward anyone, this will affect our own walk with the Lord. Bitterness is a cancer that will eat us up! Be careful, don't allow your emotions to destroy you. The more you pray, the easier it will become, so that you can truly forgive that person, just as our Loving Father forgave you.
