Years ago, someone advised me to pray for this one person whenever I thought she would be at a certain meeting or activity. It worked she did not cause issues or hard feelings of those who were around her.quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633687387688783587.post-26162427948887779622017-05-17T20:51:46.606-04:002017-05-17T20:51:46.606-04:00Pam: This statement speaks to me.

We have to forgive, if not God will not forgive us. We deal with the influence of the enemy every day and don't always realize it.

It is difficult at times like that to even begin to confront and help people to realize what's happening. There have been times when we've just had to walk away...and forgive them...for they knew NOT what they were doing...and pray that God would show them in His time. So sad. But human beings are like that. Learning to LOVE and FORGIVE is not always easy...and it comes through growing in Christ, often through tears and sorrow. We must always strive to do our part to show Christ's love and forgiveness...but we can't force people to accept it. That is an act of God in their hearts that may take some time.<br />Thank you for this thought provoking post today. I love your faithfulness to the Word. Pamela M.

I was told to pray for the things that I wanted for myself for them and do it for two weeks that I'd be free of that resentment and sure enough, it worked. I was set free. Great post.
