Re-visting

Do you ever find yourself re-visiting things in your life that you thought you were done with or had it all figured out?

Unfortunately you can be re-visited in so many ways but there is always something to gain from each visit.

I have learned now that I should not have tried to "treat" myself  when I realized that I was getting a UTI.  It didn't work and lead me to the doctor on Thursday, feeling very close to how I felt two years ago when I was going through all those infections and things..... So I didn't enjoy re-visiting that situation at all.  I'm on an antibiotic now and doing better.

Another situation that has recently happened that I thought I had the concept of "forgiveness" all figured out but what I'm learning is that forgiving someone is never the same.....the situation is usually different.  I think its because the Lord wants to walk you through the different areas that need to be re-defined in you.

The Lord has walked me through a few hard places of forgiveness over the years that from the outside many, including myself often have wondered how did I manage to forgive and let go.  But that is where the Lord comes into it all.  Without Him I think we would never really forgive others as we should.

I'm working through a broken friendship right now.  I don't understand it and I'm hurt by it.  The bright side to it is that someone else in this person's life has come into the picture, lead by God to be there for this person.  I pray that she will be able to speak into their life and good fruit will bare from it. (even if I may not be apart of this person's life)

Friendships are hard at times, and oddly enough it doesn't make what age you are or where you find yourself right now...it takes two....no wait it really takes three.....the Lord is right in the middle (or should be)

I don't want bitterness, or resentment to settle into my heart.  I choose joy and forgiveness, I just need a little help Lord.

The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, and his glory is to overlook a transgression.  Proverbs 19:11

Love your enemies, bless those who cure you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons (daughters) of you Father in heaven.  Matthew 5:44-45

Lord, if any person has unforgiveness toward me, I pray You would soften their heart to forgive me and show me what I can do to help resolve this issue between us.  I know that I cannot be a light to others as long as I am walking in the darkness of unforgiveness.  I choose to walk in the light as You are in the light and be cleansed from all sin (1 John 1:7)
