God Only Knows

[GrotonBay]

I was hurt by a friend. She did some things I thought were cruel and mean so I ended the friendship and she retaliated by burning bridges of communication. In hindsight I believe she has a disorder and it might not be all her fault. I don't think with this disorder she'll be admitting she's done something wrong and asking for forgiveness. This disorder keeps her from feeling empathy when she does bad towards another. Jesus heal her for this. I'm praying for reconciliation so I ask God to search the hearts of all involved including her sister who was on my side but shifted. I Pray God will work in each one to bring about forgiveness and peace.  Only He can reveal it to them in a way that will bring humble repentance, forgiveness, and a sincere desire to do what is right. Lord forgive me and reveal to me of my sin in this. I apologized to her and was rejected. She is really hurt but that wound was there before I met her. I miss her but I'm afraid she'll hurt me again unless her heart changes. I have empathy for her condition. God work on me, change me and fix these hearts, in Jesus name I pray, Amen

[SIZE=22pt]Unforgiveness[/SIZE]

[SIZE=16pt]Hurt and anger are not sinful they are normal responses to an offense.  There are boundaries that can be set so that the person does not have to be placed in a position to be hurt by the offender.  This involves the way in which the person maintains an ongoing relationship with the offender.   For instance, he or she can be polite (safe boundaries) without being a best friend (unsafe boundaries).  Likewise, he or she can listen without taking advice.

Minimize time with unsafe people.  Unsafe people are those who hurt without regard for the damage it creates in another’s life.   Do not look for approval from a person who will likely cause pain.   The only approval a person needs is God’s approval to live a free and fulfill life.   [/SIZE][SIZE=14pt](From: Clinton & Hawkins, 2009: The Quick Reference Guide to Biblical Counseling: Personal &Emotional Issues).[/SIZE]


[SIZE=16pt]I have learned that God can use the offense to promote personal and spiritual growth and dependence on God for His plan and glory for a person’s life.  Forgive the person and go on with your life.  Forgiveness does not require you to allow or place yourself in a position for the offender to hurt you again or become their new best friend.  Forgiveness is not reconciliation.  Forgiveness stops the destructive power of Satan in one’s life.  Forgiveness is a gift you give the offender.  Trust, on the other hand, must be earned.  You must set boundaries.  Forgive, let go, let God, and keep it moving.
