Forgiveness
I am not a person who holds a grudge and I have no problem forgiving or letting go of most every issue. However, I find it hard to forgive someone who lies to me. I will say that I won’t necessarily treat the person that has lied to me wrong or hateful; but I will cut off communication with them all together and not acknowledge that person. When a person claims to be a friend it makes the lie even more hurtful. A lie of omission is still a lie, especially when you know being honest will make a difference. That means you are knowingly deceiving.
Some people have no idea what a friend is, or how friends should treat each other.
A friend, a true friend looks out for you, not out of selfishness, but love.
A true friend tells you the truth even if they know it will hurt you.
A true friend won’t tell you something to benefit them in spite of how it may hurt you.
A true friend will treat you the way they want to be treated.
A true friend will leave you alone, if they know they will do something that will hurt or harm you.
There are people that use you and will tell you what will benefit them, knowing they are lying in order to have their own way. This is not a friend.
I am 40 years old, and I still have blinders up when it comes to people. I am not the type of person to say one thing and do another and I usually most of the time remember what I tell someone and keep my word to that person. It doesn’t have to be a promise, because my word is my promise. If something happens to cause me not to keep my word I let the person know or I make sure to make amends. I make certain to apologize when I am wrong and I don’t BLAME SOMEONE ELSE or find someone to point the blame towards.
My Achilles heel (my one weakness) is that I believe the best of every person. That is a good and a bad thing. When you believe the best of every person you look past or don’t see their faults. When you believe the best of every person you see in them the things that make them good, the things that make them great. You see the goodness in them, the potential they have within them to accomplish great things. You see the greatness within them. You see the attributes within them that yield their potential to make a difference in their lives and the lives of those around them. And you see the possibilities and qualities they possess that can be used to change the lives of people all over the world. WHEN YOU BELIEVE THE BEST OF EVERY PERSON YOU SEE THEM THROUGH THE EYES OF GOD’S LOVE, NOT YOUR OWN EYES.
When people mean you NO harm seeing the best of every person is good; however, when people mean you no good, it can be bad. I find that this gets me in the most trouble. I must learn to be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove. I have the harmless as a dove thing down pat; however, it is the wise as a serpent element that needs work. I am often reminded of where the bible talks about Jesus knowing the hearts of men and he knew not to trust them. I need to know and understand the hearts of men when to and when not to trust them. When something walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, acts totally like a duck (If it is towards me or not) then for me it is a duck.
I love people, I know that I have this honest from my heavenly father. I love to help people. Outside of God, people are most important and we should always take care to treat each other with the same respect and concern that we want shown to us. People matter, more that things. Including riches, jobs, cars, anything you can think up. People matter more and we ought to remember that when we deal with our families, friends, acquaintances, and even people we don’t know. People Matter. May God give me the strength to forgive and help me to remember that even when people lie they are worthy of forgiveness because You 1st forgave me.
