OH my goodness, I am so sorry to hear about this... but incredibly thankful that you're okay. Also, I am praying for you. Miss you and love you tons
The discussion was really good. A girl had asked, "What if you want to forgive, but you just can't?" The answer was that God already has, and since that same power, the power that raised Jesus from the dead is in us, we have the power as well. We cannot forgive on our own, but we're not on our own. Then another lady asked, "What if you've truly forgiven someone in your heart, but you just don't want to risk being hurt by them again?" She emphasized that she wishes nothing but good for this person, but just can't be around them much. It was a very hard question, but I think we concluded that you have to use wisdom in situations like that. A friend of mine told me about The fact that Jesus entrusted himself to be crucified doesn't mean that we have to put ourselves in harms way just to prove to people you've forgiven someone.
I listened to a church which has amongst their members a pedophile, and they meet him at the door, and walk with him everywhere, including into the bathroom, and once when he brought crayons as a gift for the children, they kicked him out of church for the week, and he has to go to counselling every monday.
They show him grace, but they don't let him near them. They don't trust him, and that's quite within the realms of what God asks. Turning the other cheek doesn't involve becoming a punching bag for the terminally mean.
Then we talked about God's forgiveness. This lady has been a Christian for 27 years, and has recently been baptised by the church of Christ, and informed that her family and all the wonderful people like Mother Teresa are going to hell because they weren't baptised in the right way for the right reasons. Oh my goodness you know that I have so much to say about that, as we've had this conversation, but I hope I assured her of the ridiculousness of that. GOD LOVES and FORGIVES. He's not looking for hoops for us to jump through. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I love you. And I want to thank you for the conversations that we've had about that.
