I am also "in a season of painful transition, a time when much of what I thought was sure proved not to be.

We can forgive wisely. What I mean is, if you forgive someone for betraying your confidence, you can wisely not confide in them again. That doesn't mean you hold their "sin" against them, but you have learned a lesson in discretion. Forgiveness is letting go of bitterness and the need for revenge. It doesn't always mean things between you and another person will go back to the way they were before. <BR/><BR/>Love and grace to you!<BR/>~ Drewe LlynDrewe Llynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916909818444432655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2398269716652344477.post-6339344617668630512009-04-12T11:18:00.000-05:002009-04-12T11:18:00.000-05:00Very thought-provoking post, Drewe.And I sometimes...Very thought-provoking post, Drewe.<BR/><BR/>And I sometimes wonder if I forgive too readily...at the expense of myself. There is a balance I need to find between letting go of resentments and letting God protect me. Or letting me protect myself.AllisonRhodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03442704879664039639noreply@blogger.com
