Forgiveness is earned, I do believe. But, a relationship cant move forward until you truly forgive. This chapter of my life has been rough. People questioning my actions or what actions I did not take. Everyone easily jumps to believe, any rumors, because thats who I used to be. They don't pay attention to what my life has been about the past few years. Yes, I have made mistakes as a parent and or an individual. I take responsibility for what I have done wrong. I know, and the true people who have been around me know, what I haven't done. What I have learned the most is that the ones who have stood by me....Who have said 'yes you have made mistakes, but you are not these things' ...... are the ones that really see me. People will only see what they want to see, people will judge and make assumptions from what they hear from others mouths. Perception and judgement will show you quickly who surrounds you.
2 Corinthians 12: 9-10
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
