All Shall Be Forgiven Sunday, January 11, 2004
Tonight as I sit here I need to say just one more thing about forgiving Keith. I was speaking with a friend and she told me that I should forgive him because that is how God would want it. She told me that even though I forgive him, doesn't mean that I have to be friends with him again. I guess I really didn't know that that was possible. I didn't know that you could forgive someone and not be friends with them. Then she explained that God wants you to forgive everyone, but use caution on what you do after that. He wants you to understand why the person did wrong to you and let it go. Then he expects you to not hang out with the person, because if you do you are just as guilty as that person. It's like you are not only forgiving the person but telling them that you believe in what they do. After she explained all this it really started making sense.
So the only way for Keith and I to be friends again is if he changes his ways, which I believe is possible, but won't happen over night. He also has to want to be a better person, which means he is going to have to believe that what he is doing is wrong... I really think that he believes he is never dishonest to people. By my thinking, he will never change, because he truly believes his own lies. This is not all bad for Keith. It makes his life seem like it will be easier for him. However, for how many times he has told me his life is complicated, I don't think it's working for him.
But anyway, who am I to judge him? I shouldn't, so I will stop.
I forgive you, Keith. I forgive you for lying to me. I forgive you for leading me on. I forgive you for everything you have done that hurt me in anyway. You are forgiven. I wish you well, and I will pray for you.
