Life Lessons Keep Coming!

EPIPHANY! Yes I had an epiphany. We talked at bible study today about the Criminals on the cross that were beside Jesus. The Man that talked to Jesus and told him he would be in Paradise with him. is a MASSIVE story on forgiveness. But what really struck me today was another important lesson, Mostly because we face things everyday but because of what is happening with this WHOLE ISIS thing. But Jesus, was targeted because of Religious Persecution... AND STILL he said.... "Forgive them father, They know NOT what they do"   We can FORGIVE the ISIS people for what they do.. WE have to stop it.. but we can forgive them. They are Blind to the understanding of God's Love. They are Blind to everything.. so killing people is all they see.

NOT ONLY THIS... But... we can also put this into person context.. as I did today. Sometimes, people around you... a significant other, a child, a relative.... Sometimes, we just have to forgive others because they do not know what they are doing. Could be they are hurting someone and can't see the pain, Say something and can't feel the feeling, Do something and don't know the consequences. "Forgive them Father, for they do NOT know what they do."

Also, I have needed to hear this Prayer and found this one today and It sprung me to share it to you all <3. Its from biblestudytools.com 

Make me faithful, Lord, I doubt so often, and I put my faith in other things. Those things will pass away, but I know that You will endure forever. Thanks be to Your love and grace. Amen.
