I've struggled to forgive those who have hurt me, and although I feel like I have to the best of my ability, part of me has still wondered if I TRULY forgave them, because I still feel the pain. Your words really helped put that into perspective for me.

I do not mean this unkindly....<br />After reading this post, I see your heart is good...I pray that you may be the first step many, myself included, have prayed for in moving this church forward with openly gay members....<br />I pray you will be guided for those who come to you and that they will still feel the saviors love for them, after talking to you, even if they choose not to be mormon....<br />God Bless, and good luck.....I am always in full support of any who love all equally, and want to reach out to those raised like my brother, to believe they were unnatural and impure....:)<br />All are Gods babies, and ALL are worthy of his love at ALL times....Scott and Katy Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15370508357468550113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835564038959249094.post-10541402392669161102011-08-22T10:15:32.479-07:002011-08-22T10:15:32.479-07:00I think what has been difficult for me in one case...I think what has been difficult for me in one case of forgiving is that though I feel like I can in some ways understand what was done to me and thus forgive, the consequence of me being less able to trust people in general is one I'm not sure how to get rid of, even though it has been a long time since the hurt. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts.Michelle Glauserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01646213573761736892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835564038959249094.post-81505566553378783992011-08-15T02:12:25.820-07:002011-08-15T02:12:25.820-07:00Possibly the best sermon on forgiveness I've ...Possibly the best sermon on forgiveness I've ever read.

I hope to be mindful always, and not intentionally set out to hurt anyone, but I know that that the art of communications dictates that at times I will unknowingly hurt someone.
