Amen Ginger. God is moving in your situation and will be glorified in it through you. Keeping the right heart is still the key. If we draw close to the Masters heart we can see these people with His eyes and genuine forgiveness and compassion will rise up. This is true freedom and unforgiveness is a terrible burden and will eventually end up in bitterness. I have been through some things in life that I thought no man should have to endure and yet by choosing to forgive a terrible situation was changed and God who alone is worthy was glorified. Did it hurt- yes ever so deeply. But when I think of the things I put my Lord through I realized that true love (from heaven) is indeed the most powerful force we will ever encounter. I am not worthy of His love and yet He loves me so. All He asks of me is to love like He does.
I hope I am not rambling here- I am glad to see things beginning to change even if it is slowly at first. You are certainly still in my prayers.
Much love and many blessings in His Name, your brother Larry.
