This is part 2 of my two part blog post from a sermon by Rick Warren.   "The Amazing Power of Forgiveness."   You can listen to his sermon here... The Amazing Power of Forgiveness "And we know that in all things God works for the good  of those who love him,  who   have been called  according to his purpose." Romans 8:28 (These are my thoughts based on Rick's Sermon) Pastor Rick asked two more questions in his sermon that I did not cover in my last post . #4 You have not forgiven until you have forgotten the offense.  True or false?  That would be false. Rick tells us that forgiveness is not forgetting what happened.  God does not always want us to forget. Forgiving and then remembering the hurt and then seeing how God can work it for good is better than forgetting.  I would agree with Rick.  If I ignore the pain and the injury and how God helped me through how could I ever help others that I meet on the...

                     You can listen to his sermon here The Amazing Power of Forgiveness "And we know that in all things God works for the good  of those who love him,  who   have been called  according to his purpose." Romans 8:28 (These are my thoughts based on Rick's Sermon) At the beginning of his sermon, Rick asked five questions.  I am going to look at three of the questions and follow up with the others on my next post.   #1 A person should not be forgiven until they ask for it.  True or False?  False.  Pastor Rick says that we need to grant forgiveness whether or not there has been a request.   He says real forgiveness is unconditional and should be given as soon as possible. That is a tough one when you have been wronged.  Many times we need to go through the grieving process before this is possible.  If we continue to give the situation to God ...

Several weeks ago I watched "The Sixth Sense."  I love that movie.  The twists and turns, the surprise ending.  And that adorable little boy, what a fantastic actor, and who doesn't like Bruce Willis. The little boy did not share much regarding his thoughts and feelings; he kept them hidden.  He kept his pain hidden.   I loved the son's relationship with his mom. He loved her deeply and could read her emotions.  At one point he asked her why she was so sad, her reply "What makes you think I'm sad," Cole's reply "Your eyes told me."  I think many of us would love for someone to care so deeply about us that they could see through our facade and see our pain.  That they could look in our eyes and read what is behind our smile, our mask.  Well, there is someone that sees, and that is God.  He understands our pain, our loneliness,  our confusion,  our guilt,  our fear, and our utter devastation.  And guess what...
