Jesus forgive the Romans for what they did to him. And they did way more abuse then you will ever know. So just think on that and what Jesus said to his Father.

I agree totally that we need to forgive, but there are some things that we simply can't allow ourselves to forget - even when we really have forgiven and even when we believe the other person really has repented. <br /><br />Those things are few, but they do exist.Papa Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704974609266088416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076473593828344936.post-64201984890106835752011-06-13T21:57:50.787-04:002011-06-13T21:57:50.787-04:00"In essence, we would never be able to reach ..."In essence, we would never be able to reach a count of 490 separate offenses against us because each time we forgive it would wipe the first one away.
