Forgive/Forget Your Choice

You ask me what your purpose in life is?...How do I know..I can tell you what I think..but that would only be my opinion...So, you re-word your question and ask me well how do I find my purpose?..I simply tell you to look to God and read his holy word...
Only there will you find complete and utter happiness and feel like you don't have a care or worry..I often ask myself why do we care what others think of us..who are we trying to impress? We sometimes hide our true identies so others will accept us in their group of friends...But why do we care..is it because we want to feel accepted? Well, if that is the case, Jesus accepts us just as we are...why not try to impress him for a change...Give him that extra time everyday that we spend on the computer or watching tv or simply spending time with friends...Yes, our friends..the ones that say they will be here for you through thick and thin and sometimes they turn their back on you and call you names...So, a quick question to ask yourself why are they your friends? Do we really forgive and forget..or possibly we forgive..but it never goes away because we don't forget..So, what is the difference..I don't know..you tell me..? Can we really truly do both..does anyone really forget the way another person makes them feel? We can put it off in the back of our minds...but yet it still lingers..and sometimes when we sit down and reflect ..it comes floating back to the surface..Sometimes we let others influence the way we act and we let our boundaries down and let people in to see the real person that lives inside of you and me...This is when we are the most vulnerable...We wear our hearts on our sleeve..No wonder I don't blame the ones that are so bitter and try to shut everyone out... They feel like they can't trust anyone anymore...this is ashame...I know that the majority of the population are only out for themselves..they have lost that true human compassion...the helping outreached hand to fellow neighbors, friends, and family...So, I simply ask in despiration... When will we completely empty our hearts and all our burdens and give over to God and lay it at the foot of his cross? Only there will we find that we are completely free from all misery and he will reach down and pick us up and put us back on two feet and makes us truly complete!
