About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"CAN YOU FORGIVE?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
I HAVE BEEN ASKED IF YOU SHOULD FORGIVE YOUR SPOUSE IF HE/SHE HAS CHEATED ON YOU. FIRST, WHAT DO YOU REALLY KNOW ABOUT FORGIVENESS? OH, WE SAY "I FORGIVE YOU" ALL THE TIME BUT DO WE REALLY MEAN IT. I WAS LOOKING UP FORGIVENESS IN THE 1828 WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY AND SAW A DEFINITION I WASN'T EXPECTING. IT IS "The pardon of an offender, by which he is considered and treated as not guilty." YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO JUST WHAT THIS SAYS IF YOU WANT THE MARRIAGE TO WORK. YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TREAT THE MISTAKE AS IF IT NEVER HAPPENED AND TREAT HIM/HER AS NOT GUILTY. IT IS YOUR CHOICE BUT JESUS WILL HELP YOU THROUGH IT. IN YOUR VOWS YOU PROMISED TO TAKE HIM/HER FOR BETTER OR WORSE. I KNOW THIS IS WORSE THAN YOU EVER CONSIDERED AT THE TIME BUT WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES, SOME WORSE THAN OTHERS.
SO, IF YOU CHOOSE TO GET THROUGH THIS, YOU HAVE TO PUT IT TO BED, SO TO SPEAK, AND NEVER BRING IT UP AGAIN. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY IT WILL WORK. IT COULD EVEN MAKE YOUR MARRIAGE MUCH STRONGER BECAUSE HE/SHE WILL KNOW JUST HOW GREAT YOUR LOVE IS.
I KNOW YOU ALL KNOW THIS BUT I AM GOING TO PUT IT HERE ANYWAY. YOU KNOW WHAT JESUS THOUGHT ABOUT FORGIVENESS AND THERE IS NO BETTER SCRIPTURE THAN THIS TO SHOW YOU. MATTHEW 18:21-22 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. THIS NEEDS NO MORE EXPLANATION.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
