Forgiveness Part 3

Hey Everyone!
   I hope you're all doing well! I finally got a letter in the mail the other day from the Batesville Fire Dept. letting me know that my application has been accepted and they want me to come in and interview and test me for the position of EMT-B, all your prayer would be much appreciated for that :)

Well it's finally here.. the post you've all been waiting for. The conclusion to what became a 3 part series on Forgiveness. Today we'll be covering how this all applies to your relationships with one another in the physical.

Now then, all this has been said how this applies to us and God and so forth, how does it apply to me and my friends, or the jerk at work that I can't stand?

First of all: Forgiveness is one of the fruit by which people will know you by. It is also one of the Chief evidences showing a truly repentant spirit, a forgiving one.

There is a saying I heard not too long ago that I actually quite like. "A forgiven person is to be a forgiving person."

When God has forgiven us, do we really have any right to hold back forgiveness from someone else?

Forgiveness (part 2)

Hey Everyone!
     Well, it's finally officially here! Most of all of you are finally done with Finals and all the testing! Time to enjoy the summer!! Time for the endless amounts of Grad parties and ceremonies and cleaning to prep for all that, and then the cleaning afterwords... yeah I guess you guys still have another month or so before you truly get your break ;) lol. But Congrats to all you guys that made it!!

Now, on to business.
Last week was the first post I did on Forgiveness, specifically dealing with why we need to continually ask forgiveness. I want to just quickly apologize for any confusion about that, I did not mean to indicate that Christ's sacrifice was not sufficient once and for all. By no means whatsoever!!! I was simply saying that as Christians when we realize we have sinned there should be a conviction from the holy spirit, and then going to God in repentance and turning away from that sin.

Forgiveness

Alrighty guys, so finally here I am with the long awaited special request Blog... I was asked to do a post on Forgiveness, and to get a little more specific I was asked whether or not one should try to rebuild the relationship after something happens. I'm going to try and answer that as best as I can, so please bear with me. And this is one topic where I really would love you guys to comment and give me your thoughts :)

This is quite an extensive topic, and truthfully I'm not sure I even scratch the surface of it, nor do I think that I got all this down pat. But I hope that this will make sense.
One last thing, this is more than likely going to be at least two posts... maybe even three long.

Now, first I feel like I have to explain some other things first before I answer that specific question up there.

A quick update

Hey Everyone! I hope you're all doing well :) Well it's almost here, summer is just around the corner and school is finishing up it's last days for most of you. I can't wait to hear about all your summer plans and all the trips I know many of you will be making!
I haven't heard back yet from the Captain of the Nina and Pinta, so my whole month of sailing is still hanging in the air.

Fire class is going well, we're doing an average of two or three chapters a night! So we currently only have about 2wks or so of class left, and only that long because we have to schedule to use the burn tower to do our practical skills. Keep me in prayer that I'll do well on all the upcoming testing.

Sadly to say I'm afraid I don't have a story for you this week, but fear not! I have a topic in mind and am currently working on it... this particular topic is taking a lot of research and more studying then my normal "off the top of my head" subject. So please stay patient, and wait for the good things to come ;)

I hope you all have an amazing weekend!

God Bless,
