1 | How do I let go of hatred? | Bible general Archive 3 | chell20013 | 166506 | ||
Thanks for a great answer. I read your answer first and got my feelings hurt, then later read the second answer to my question. I then realized that what you said was something I needed to keep my thinking in line--"don't waste your time and energy flitting around the internet for solutions!"--absolutely right. The internet can be a wealth of information, but can also have very damaging mis-information. One thing my pastor preaches all the time is "Take it to the scriptures!" God's word is the final authority on all things, including your advice. Your response to my question will remain in my mind as I do look at and study other things, and I will then judge whether I am flitting around or actually gainin some knowledge. | ||||||
2 | How do I let go of hatred? | Not Specified | chell20013 | 166497 | ||
I've been divorced from my first husband of 9 years for 11 years. We have 4 children together. The marraige was awful and divorcing him and moving 300 miles away didn't make a difference until the kids were grown as he continued to torment me through the children. After 20 years, he has passed away, thankfully saved shortly before his death, but his father lives on. I recently discovered that all the hate and resentment I thought I had let go of was just hidden and it came back full force--not only toward my ex-husband, but toward his father, and toward one of my children who has been influenced by her father and grandfather. My efforts at forgiveness and turning over this frightening hatred to God have been unsuccessful. It has become so much a part of me over the past 20 years, I don't know how to begin to let go of it. I have let myself fall into a depression and found that some old behaviors, learned in the first marraige are starting to show again. (short temper, intolerence for mistakes, lack of control over my mouth) I've spoken to my pastor, who gave me the book "Happiness is a choice" and suggested I go over a bible study I've already done--Breaking Free--about breaking stronholds. He will begin counseling with me tomorrow, but I need as much help as I can get. I'd like to see what others have to say on this subject. |
