Getting Over It
Mar 13th, 2009 by admin
Is there anything more ironic than forgiveness? If your ex-best-friend lies about you and murders your reputation, how do you get your life back? Forgiveness. Forgiveness doesn’t mean saying what she did was right. It means you’ve decided her bad choice no longer has the power to make your day good or bad. It means you’ve let the situation go. Revenge keeps your attention on how horrible and depressed her stupid words made you feel. Jesus makes it clear that you find freedom when you forgive others…and forgiveness for your own mistakes. Ready to move on? Read Matthew 6:14
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Hey
I’m really glad that the Revolve Tour people keep sending emails about stuff like this because not only was the concert amazing, but it helps you to remember the stuff that you’ve learned. Forgivness is a really big thing too. I really really like the verse Matthew 6:14, and I think that that was the first time I’d heard it. It’s a really strong verse, and just like the rest of the bible, it’s sooooo incredibly true. Thanks
Love,
Rianna
Today I took part in a miracle. Today as I got into another pointless argument with two of my best friends, I came home in a sulky, bitter mood. But after I got the Revolve email on forgivness and read what God had to say to me, I folded my hands, tears brimming in my eyes, and asked Him to please forgive me. I know He did, because when I was done praising God, my friends who I got into a fight with texted me saying that we should work out our problems. I agreed with them, and thanked God for opening another door for me to strengthen our friendship and work out our problems. I believe our Savior has a strong hold on our lives and is definitely leading us to still waters. We should remember to thank God and praise him for watching our lives- with intense detail and concern -and protecting us from harm. When we find ourselves getting upset or mad, we need to remember He has a plan to make things better, all you have to do is forgive.
I just brokeup with my first kind of boyfriend. He really disappointed me. Once I told him I was breaking up with him, he went back to some his old ways, and tried to make me jealous.
I have never felt so cheated and lied to in my life.
But now I know I have to forgive him. Thank you for sending out this email!!
My boyfriend and I broke up a few weeks back and one of my friends told him she liked him the day after and now they are getting closer and closer. Everyday I would ask God why He would do such a mean thing to me because tons of other bad things have been going on. Every history class I had with both of them every morning was like being tortured. They are now best friends and “waiting” to go out. It has helped me reach out to God and this verse pushed me even more. With God I can get through anything. I just wish we sometimes got to know why He put us through certain things haha.
so i used to go to this church, and it wasn’t healthy for me. God’s word wasn’t reaching me. the only reaso i continued to go was because i had a best friend, a boyfriend, and a good friend. i didn’t want to leave them. God knew that i just went for the people that that even though i wasn’t getting fed i was wasting time. i would not listen to Him, so God found a way to grab my attention and pull me out himself. slowly it trickled down the list. first, one of my good friends, my boyfriend, then my best friend, then me. it got to the point and i hated being there. so i left. it wasn’t easy going from a group when everyone talked to me and i was the life of the party, but in my new group, i am being fed and i know that God put me there for a reason. it hurt me to leave and have all those people picked away, but i am healing, and even though they’ve said things about me and to me, and that hurt too, i know that everything will work out. at first i didn’t think they deserved to be forgiven after the things they said to me, but it wasn’t heathy keeping it in. gradually, i am peeling myself away and letting loose, because i know that God is there to pick up my slack. He wants all my burdens, and i’m slowly learning how to give those to Him. it feels good to know you don’t have to carry everything by yourself.
I get in arguements all the time and there so stupid . I just kinda blow it off and dont talk 2 them and let tthem kool down then its all good. but one time me and my best friend got in a huge fight and we just couldnt work it out and everyone trying to help us was just making it worst . that happened last year and i was ready to forgive her but she wouldnt forgive me so till this day we are not friends and it really was hard to let her go.
I love this topic of forgiveness because it really changed my life! After my boyfriend of over 1 year broke up with me, I was depressed and angry for a long time. Then one night I realized that I had to forgive him if I wanted to move on and grow closer to God. My “ex” and I are like best friends now, I got over my depression, and I feel closer to God than ever!!!!
One of my good friends is going down the wrong path… i can’t say what she is going through but i can tell you that it’s scaring me. I’m trying and trying to help her to go through it all but i can’t keep up with it. I don’t know what to do HELP!!
I recently lost my best friend of the past 31/2 years because of some junk that was going on. I was actually cyber bullied by her. It hurts really bad to have a friend turn on you or betray you. She’s going through all kinds of really rough things, but I never see her anymore. I have to have help from God to forgive her everyday cuz it’s hard to let go of all that pain and anger. I pray for her too, and it’s also nice to know that Jesus, my real best friend, is never gonna leave me.
ilove it when u guys give us verses 4 r problems keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yea, right now my friend is having a hard time FORGIVING my dad. i really caint go into all the details,but life is really tough for her right now. keep praying!:)
Hey, this is a reply for Kalee.
If what your friend is going through is dangerous to her, then talk to an adult. I know it sounds repetetive but it is best for her. Have you shown her the Bible? Taken her to Youth Group? Maybe that would take her mind off things and also give her advice on how to deal with things. I once had a friend like this, and no matter what I did, it seemed like she never got better.
It’s good to remember that once you’ve done all you can, it’s in God’s hands now. There’s only so much you can do. Don’t give up, but don’t forget that God has a plan for her, and He’ll work it out like only He knows how.
After that, all you can do is pray. I’ll pray too.
Love you & God bless!
