Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Luke 23:34
THE AUGUST MAYFIELD INTERPRETATION:
Even though someone who you probably once loved and truly cared about, maybe even looked up to and valued did something truly awful to you, betrayed you and took you for a fool and hurt your feelings, made you cry for days and you had to take to your bed because of the mere shock – FORGIVE THEM.
You can’t always account for some people’s heartlessness or stupidity so forgive them for being stupid, selfish and insensitive; it’s probably not their fault.
So forgive them, wish them well, move on and live your best life!

Today, I needed to read this! December 30, my Dad and brother were shot, trying to help someone. Both lived, but my father has suffered tremendously! Yesterday, after visiting a Dr. in St. Louis, after Dr.'s in Arkansas said, there was NOTHING else anyone in AR could do, she said she could help.
Any way, I've had a hard time dealing with the anger, and people telling me to let go of the anger. Last night, saying my prayers, and thanking God for the restoration to come, I realized why I was so angry. The fear of being without something I've always had, my Daddy!
Then today, reading Father forgive them... Now finally, I can even start to forgive now that I understand my anger! Thank you.
Thanks for following me. I will follow you!
Thank you for sharing your very personal story La'Tonya. I'm very sorry to hear about your father and brothers' shooting and thank God for their life.
I'm really pleased that something I wrote could help with your healing process. Reading your words just remind me to practice what I preach because it's not always easy to forgive.
So thank you for taking time out from "40's - Reason's to Live.... " and stopping by and posting your comment.
August
Hello August, your words came right on time. I've been so angry with someone who hurt me but I need to move on but I was so consumed in bitterness I thought that I couldn't let go. But for my own sake, its time to say hey, you wasn't who I thought you were. Thats cool. Good luck, goodbye, thanks for the good times, but too many bad times. I forgive you for being a idiot cos its not your fault. And as you say, LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE.
Thank you August, your words (and the bible) are good and wise.

It takes a whole lot of patience to forgive someone whose not sorry. I guess if you believe in yourself, you can be sorry for them.
La'Tonya, your words touched me. They compounded what August said because at first I thought people can't just forgive like that but when you think about it setting you free and moving on, I guess it's a good thing to do.

You sure have a way with words. I read what you said August and I agreed. And then I re-read it and disagreed. Today I agree, I can't say what I'll do tomorrow. But I guess you sure made me think.
You made me wanna cry
Amen to that August, AMEN
