- I apologize to those that I have wronged and I ask for forgiveness.
To those that I have been wronged by, I forgive you because I truly love you so deeply.
I hope my actions speak louder than my words, by far.
Forgiveness and Love
When you love somebody you forgive them. I’ve learned an immense amount in my life so far especially over the last few years. One thing that keeps me at peace and in a loving state with people is when you can forgive them for the wrongs that have occurred, you can keep loving them and can even more. If you’ve wronged them then for sure you apologize and absolutely ask for forgiveness. Of course, you don’t keep yourself in harm’s way, sometimes you have to forgive and depart. Forgiveness also doesn’t have much to do with the other person, but it is what’s in your heart that matters. It’s about keeping your side of the street clean. I was talking with my potential liver donation producer friend and he said, You can’t just immediately choose to forgive someone and it just happens. In the very basic of terms, yes, you can. But sure, if you dissect it, it can take time, but you just reaffirm the forgiveness if it pops up into your brain. I was discussing it with my Mom this morning and she thinks of it as God’s test. How well do we handle a situation and how well do we come through it. In part, it is the GOLDEN RULE. Treat others as you want to be treated or Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. She didn’t even have to forgive the man that killed her first husband, her soul mate. She was saddened for all the other people that were killed by that man that day. She wasn’t raised with contempt, hate, or anger, She was raised with compassion, kindness and love. So even at the thought of her husband of eleven months death, she held no ill will, even from that horrific moment. When we hold onto unforgiveness, it only eats you up and consumes your energy, time, and thoughts. It doesn’t do anything to the other person, it only harms yourself if you cannot forgive. Clarify your heart, soul, and mind through God. Then when someone asks for your forgiveness, you give it to them. There are times when we tell someone we forgive them but they don’t actually know why you’re doing it and things may get dicey and it brings everything back up to the surface. You’ll know what’s best, if you don’t, ask the person you counsel with and pray about it. But many times the person won’t know you forgave them for an incident because they aren’t in your life anymore, but for your peace of mind and full positive heart, it’s important to forgive across the board as God has forgiven us the same way. Sometimes, there is the statement forgive and forget or forgive but doesn’t forget. At times, not forgetting per sae but be aware of that things can happen and don’t let the issue come again but be aware to diffuse or direct it in a better direction. As I have been forgiven, I therefore forgive and also ask for your forgiveness.
Jeremiah 10:23-24
23 O LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself;
It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.
24 O LORD, correct me, but with justice;
Not in Your anger, lest You bring me to nothing.

I am zealous towards my friend Jed.
The Lord has given unto you.
I am a light to my friend.
I have righteousness and strength is with me.
The Lord has given unto you
and now to this,
I AM LOVE, yeah, I said it…out loud.
The greatest gift, Love is…
I’m doing a review (which I’m tooting my horn, but it’s more constructive and I’m way far not boasting, not by any means)
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love suffers long and is kind. (Dang right it sure do, I have suffered to give it out and I do much always try my best for kindness first)
Love does not envy (I got 98-99% on this one. I envy peace and to pass this season of testing)
Love does not parade ( I fo sho don’t parade it around, might be seen, but that’s just because)
Love is not puffed up (I puff only for the jokes, yeah I know I’m good looking)
Does not behave rudely (I got this 99.999% never rude, ever)
Does not seek its own [vainly boast] ( Umm, again only for a laugh, umm 98% here, I am most certain have my confidence about me because I know facts and what’s what.)
Is not provoked ( naa, never I’d say 99.999% on this one too)
Thinks no evil (for sure not man, almost 100% but going to go 99.999%)
Does not rejoice in iniquity (nope, absolutely breaks my heart)
But rejoices in the truth ( ALL truth, even the brutal cold hard truth, it’s #1 to me aside from Love)
Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things (UGH, omg I’m bearing a lot and enduring it all, belief is key, and so is hope, I have so much hope for things in people’s lives)
Love never fails (I’m learning that if I step away from myself and put love first, I can endure and achieve a better outcome)
13 And now abide faith, hope, and love, these three; but the greatest of this IS Love.
Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.2 0 Comments 0 Shares -

- I just saw a thing on a very famous person talking about how fame isn’t good for us humans. And how when becoming famous it removes obstacles for you and that the friction and obstacles are what actually make you grow. And I try to always pay attention and pull things out to learn from and I think this is very true is every faucet of every life. Of course I stopped and thought for a moment and then the words flood on me. I actually have an irrational fear of becoming famous and a best friend said, “Let’s not worry about that till you get closer to it” I actually have very little fear in my life, I don’t live by it. Aside from fear of my sick days where my body just shuts down, like yesterday, or fear of heat, which is a mental process unlike the other day when I got heat exhaustion, close to heat stroke. And back to topic at hand, thinking about obstacles and friction relates to the crutches we have in our lives whether it be drugs or alcohol or other things, a lot of these don’t necessarily remove the obstacle but they remove the friction for a time and it doesn’t allow us to grow. A little bit of this is referring to some extreme cases where the crutches I’m aware of become #1 and growth stops completely. I’m going to tell a little funny inside story of how I was speaking with a friend and she was referring to many people coping with alcohol in her world and drugs in people that I’m trying to help and she was giving me a little chuckle that Jake’s items of coping are sugar and watching videos with heart that make me laugh. Like that’s the extreme I go to is sugar, that’s my crutch of choice which…I actually buy it, but then don’t really eat it. But yes, haha, sugar is what I need to remove to be a healthier individual and as with most my “stories” I tell I have to end it with, aaaah nevermind, you had to be there. Back on track it was just a reminder that friction and most definitely obstacles in our lives absolutely, hopefully, make and or allow us to grow if we can see these things as something to learn and then grow from and not see them as blockades. There are books, help programs, family and friends and of course the Bible to look to for help. As with everything I’m posting lately, I hope certain people and any other person sees this and it might help them to ponder a moment on their situations. Thank you and good night…or good morning depending on when this is read.0 0 Comments 0 Shares
