He also taught me the truth of: Romans 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. I had to come to the realization that what "lieth in" me was planted there by my mother and nurtured and watered to grow a harvest according to the seeds she had planted. If I plant thistle seeds in my garden this spring, and nurture them to their growth potential, I will not grow a sweet smelling rose garden that I can enjoy in my later years...I will have a garden of thistles. I had been trying to be the rose garden that my mother wanted: One which she continued in my adult years to cultivate as a garden of thistles by berating me and ‘slapping me down’, (as my brother put it so well), every time she drew me in and we started to develop a mother-daughter relationship. ~~Sharon] What Is Forgiveness? FORGIVENESS IS CHOOSING TO RELEASE THE OFFENDER. [I want to emphasize Dr.Rosenberg’s use of the word "choosing". Everything in our lives is a matter of our choice. It is our choice whether or not we become a Christian. It is our choice whether we ever surrender our wills to God. It is also our choice whether we ever say yes to the question Jesus asks: John 5:6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? Wilt thou be made whole? God’s name Jehovah-Rapha is promised healing but our accepting His healing is our choice.] --TRUST GOD [instead of trying to figure it all out which is what I hear from many that I counsel.] Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. --CANCEL THE DEBT---Matthew 18:21-35 Mat 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Mat 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven................. Mat 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. --Realize that it is a hardened Sclerotic (physically hardening) heart that will not let go. [Psalms 95:8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
