THE F WORD

Day 101 of this sobriety thing I wanted to talk about the F word, not the one everyone is thinking of but the one everyone has problems really doing. The F word I'm referring to is FORGIVENESS, so many people whether substance abusers or not have very bad issues with truly doing this. As humans we usually say we forgive someone for the wrongs that they have done but most of us only say it because it sounds good and we know thats what GOD wants us to do. In our sick minds we forgive a person but in our hearts its another story, thats exactly why people always say I forgive but I will never forget. As humans we really have a hard time doing both. Think about this: what if we ask GOD to forgive us and he did but always kept in mind the horrible sins they we have committed?  Would that even seem right? We all make mistakes in life some worse than others but we all ask GOD to forgive us and after doing so we feel better knowing that it is done because we asked, so why can't we do the same for our fellow man? It is because society is so backwards and twisted that we can't grasp what FORGIVENESS really means. In the LORDS PRAYER it says forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us. Those are words we all have to live by, we cannot truly Forgive someone without forgetting what they have done to us. We cannot ask GOD to forgive us if we can't truly forgive our fellow man. THINK ABOUT IT.
