Pastor Melvin told us to close our eyes, think of a person we hate, and that we think of revenging against him/her everyday - then pray for the person and ask God to help you forgive and bless him/her.
i dun have anyone who fits the bill on my mind.
i wonder if its gd or bad....coz gd wld mean i dun hate anybody to the extent of constantly thinking of how to get back at the person; bad because maybe its already indifference towards him/her.
love----------hate-----------indifferencehate is not the opposite of love coz when hate, theres still feelings. Indifference = 0 hope, 0 concern, simply ignorance
Jude says in such cases, it maybe because they hurt more people than others hurting them thus naturally nobody would fit the bill.
I don't exactly see the relevence. Probably its like if i hurt them, they hate me ?? I think thats what he is referring to....
Then, he kept harping on the fact that he forgives. But i don't see how true is it when he made the above statement. It appears to me that he is emphasis that he is hurt. Only he alone is hurt....
To the extent of him being hurt, he made it seem like he is a poor victim. But in my pov, if the hurt is so great, why does he thinks that he is the only one being hurt in the process.... The other party whom he thought he was hurt by is probably being hurt in the process too.
I always believe hurt a double-edge sword. One can never cause hurt without hurting themselves first....
And if he really forgives, why does it bring up this hurt time and again....
Pastor Melvin says forgive = forgetting it in a form of a sin.
Guess he nv understands that. Yet.
God bless him,
Amen
