God Forgives, I Don't

We all have felt this way at some point in our lives. Some people live by this statement. The concept of this album is holding grudges. When someone does you wrong, the first instinct is revenge. You want the offender to pay for their crime against you, and that's fair. No one should get by with messing over folks, but that's life in a fallen world. Depending on how severe the offense, some people may forgive & forget, others may forgive & never forget, and there's those who don't forgive, even though God does. If you're a Christian, forgiveness should be mandatory because God has forgiven us. Even though forgiveness may be hard for heinous offenses, God can help us reach that level of forgiveness, but I pray my forgiveness level will never be tested like that. To me, some offenses are unforgivable: Sexual offenses against children, animal cruelty & neglect, taking advantage of disabled people, etc. God may forgive offenses, but some people don't. Some people will go to great lengths to avenge offenses against them. Whether that's right or wrong, I can't say.

 

Regrets

 

It's ironic that most people have regrets at the end of their life. Where were these regrets while you were messing over folks?— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) May 5, 2021

Answered Prayers

 

Remembering God’s answered prayers should give us hope for unanswered prayers. When we remember the past, the past should give us hope for the future.

Question Of The Day: Self Made?

 

Blessed To Be A Blessing

 

For me, yes. One of the reasons I want to be blessed is so I can help others become blessed. I hate suffering, lack/poverty, disabilities, etc. so if I become blessed enough to help someone else overcome their handicap, that would make me feel far better than being blessed myself. One less person suffering.

I've always said that most people have a hidden agenda for coming into your life. Very few people want to be in your life for YOU.
