Many times in life, you might be hurt by people you love and care about.  It seems to 
be the greatest injury.  It is hard not to harbor that hurt.  It is hard to release it; to forgive.
There is not one of us(as a human being) that has not been hurt, or has not hurt someone
else.  If you stop and consider what the hurt has done to you, it compares nothing to 
what hanging on to it will eventually do to your soul.  
Try to think why it hurt you so much; try to separate yourself from the event and observe
it.  If it was nothing intentional that they did, then please release it immediately.  Forgive
their humanness and move on.  If it was something someone did intentionally to cause you
distress or harm, try to look at their reason for doing it.  Usually, it is an insecurity that they
have, or maybe they are reenacting a hurt that was inflicted on them.  Remove yourself
from the situation and know that it has nothing to do with you, and everything to do with
them.  It is easier to forgive someone when you understand that in being human, we have
many faults, and we do things, many times, without thinking, or in the interest of ourselves.
If you keep in mind what Jesus said as He was hanging on the cross, "Father forgive them,
for they do not know what they are doing" LUKE 23:34, it will help you to forgive also.
Jesus continually forgives us each day, and He wants us to forgive each other.  When we
forgive and release all hurt, anger, resentment; all negative feelings, then we open our
heart and soul for love to come in.  Where there is love, there can be no malice.  Where
there is love, there can be compassion and understanding. Where there is  forgiveness,
there will be healing.
In my book, "Forgiveness, Healing, and Love" I will take you on a 21 day journey to
learn to forgive, through God's Word.  Then you can live the life God intended for us;
with love, gratitude and abundant blessings.  God Bless You.  PTL
