Just like we tell our parents we're sorry, we must go to God as a Father and ask Him to forgive us for sinning against Him, for disgracing His name, for not being near thankful enough for everything He has given to us. <BR/>Sometimes I miss out on the blessing b/c I forget to remember God the FATHER. But I must go to my Daddy and tell Him how sorry I am... forgiveness that is two-fold: from someone we've hurt, and from our own Father for not acting like His child.<BR/>Thanks for finally...'sharing Creth's thoughts'. ;) You should do it more often.amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18189483455041324004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11413107.post-1126819030107263112005-09-15T16:17:00.000-05:002005-09-15T16:17:00.000-05:00I like that blogspot lets you delete comments afte...I like that blogspot lets you delete comments after you make them. I'm the typo-queen, you know...<BR/><BR/>ANYWAY... good post. Thanks. <BR/><BR/>I believe that true forgiveness cannot be dependent upon the 'forgiven'. It's more about the one offering forgiveness. <BR/><BR/>There is life in the very act of forgiveness.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060401886599906465noreply@blogger.com
