APPs = Applying Positive Practices

Apply the Positive Practice of FORGIVENESS.”
 

“…and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us.” (Matthew 6:12)
 

FORGIVENESS is “not letting the past pain prevent you from dealing with the person in the future”  (BKLC)
 

Dr. Rosché says:  Forgiveness is one of the most difficult things to do because we have suffered a trauma. We have suffered the fact that we let someone in our hearts, mind, and circle to be betrayed by them.  This act of betrayal can re-shape our sense of our self, the world, other people, and also how we view God by believing he allowed this to happen.  However, we must take responsibility of who we let in our lives and furthermore who stays in our lives.  Did someone steal from you? Lie to you? Cheat on you? Abuse you? Hurt you? All of the above? I know it hurts and you may have a few reminders time to time of this betrayal but remember that when we hold on to tightly to what hurts us we also prevent ourselves from receiving all the God has for us.  It is time to LET GO!!!
 

Let Go to embrace Positivity

• It’s common to hold onto negative feelings such as anger, bitterness, and vengefulness but that often means we can’t embrace positive feelings of peace hope, love, joy, God’s grace, mercy, and FAVOR!! 

Let Go to be in the present moment

• So easy to be caught up in our past hurt (what they did, why they did it, and how they could do such a thing) or even our future intentions (when I see them I’m going to…)

Let Go because you love you

• Forgiveness is for you. It does not minimize the responsibility on what the other person did to you.  But it releases the power the person has on you

Bishop Clark gives us a different perspective on Forgiveness:

• Forgiveness is required but Trust is earned
• This is extremely important to take in.  Forgiving them does not mean that we trust them or that we bring them back into our lives in the same way.
• Not going to write you off, but I will figure out how to write you in
• As a Christian,  I have to forgive and figure out how I am going treat you in the present due to what you just did to me in the past.  This is your decision point:  Does this person belong in my life as a partner, friend, or should they only be cordial acquaintances?

• Some people you can give knowledge to but can’t make them think, some want to stay ignorant because they don’t want to change. 
• You can attempt to teach someone a better way to treat you but their actions are a tell, tell sign about how they feel or at least their lack of ability to change.  Those people you need to just leave alone. 

I know it’s WORK and it’s easier to continue to do the same thing over and over again because you and Drama have become such close friends over the years, but break yourself from this friend and introduce yourself to some new friends named Peace, Hope, and Success. Nobody said it would be easy, but God hasn’t brought you this far to LEAVE you. Remember to ask for HIS Guidance in beginning this process. I am here for you too and I’m willing to answer any questions you may have about what hinders your ability to make progress in this area.
