I have hesitated
talking about this topic for a few months now, with the disagreement of the
world behind me. For apparently Sin is rated on a scale of bad to worst, and
only the bad ones are forgiven.
Some people don't
practice forgiveness whatsoever. Others do but think that forgiveness is only
acceptable for certain people and certain things. The other certain people and things are left
in a category of unforgivable. Even in the Christian world, There are a few
"Unforgivable Sins." which makes this topic so controversy and hard
to talk about. But there is ONE here who
has showed me otherwise, ONE who stands behind me and he is here with me now
telling me to write this. So here we go.
Hate the SIN not the
SINNER
This world wanders
around far too much and far too long with anger and hate in their hearts.
People and the things that people do are often looked at as
"unforgivable"
Now I have struggled
with forgiveness and let me be the first say, to not forgive is an ugly thing. While
we are busy holding this frustration against people we are doing real harm to
ourselves. We become captives to hate, A murderous spirit.

Most of my readers
know my story, for those who don't here is a quick overview.
Ezra Rene'e My only
child my beautiful baby girl. She lived to be 22 months. Her father in I
separated in December of 2013. He had started seeing another woman (For the
sake of this message we will call her Angela.) Now Angela had become close to
our family, she had come in as the "step- mother" in a sort, taking
care of Ezra. And becoming my friend, or so I thought.
August 22, 2014 11:47pm "Ezra's not breathing"
The message set to
my phone.
I had a long drive
to the hospital, three hours. In that time no one knew if she was okay or not.
Was she alive? Severely injured? Dead? The longest most fearful drive of my
life. I prayed, and I had prayed In a way I never had before. Somewhere about
halfway through the drive to the hospital HE spoke.
HE said "She is
gone, I have her, And I want you to forgive Angela now." In tears and with
a silent gasp I mustered a very uneasy but trusting "Okay"
We finally got to
the hospital where three hours after my arrival they gave us the news that
would turn my world upside down forever.
"She didn’t
make it"
Three months after
her death Angela was arrested for murder in the 1st degree.
