So I was actually just searcing for christian layout pages for my myspace site, when I stumbled on this site.  How cool!

I've been a christian for many years now.  Slipped many times, but the Lord has always been there to help me through like the loving father he is. 

Lately, some things have taken place in my life where the things around me affected how I looked at things.  I usually can forgive & forget something quickly when it happens directly to me.  However, when something takes place & it hurts my family or those who I consider to be family it takes me a long time.  I don't know why, it just does.  I guess, b/c I see them hurting so much from day to day that it just shoots those emotions of anger through me. 

Scanning my mom's bible just a few moments ago I came across a devotion on Far-Reaching Forgiveness.  Talks about how Paul forgave Mark for doing things during their ministry that was disobedient, faithless, & untrustworthy.  Yet, Paul forgave Mark.  That's how the Lord is with us.  No matter how we slip up & think well that's it I've just slipped up so bad that GOD can't forgive me.  GOD shows us in everyday things that he is still with us & forgives us only if we ask.  So who am I not to forgive someone who hurt me indirectly?  If GOD can forgive me when I hurt HIM directly, I have no reason in the world to feel any type of bad feelings toward someone else.  Thank you Lord for revealing your mercy to me today.
