I spent a lot of time complaining and doing the "woe is me" routine when my sickness first started. <br /><br />I'm making every effort to shake that now and I'm trying to show more gratitude.<br /><br />Take care and feel better!<br /><br />Rob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741955202727936194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-46622591753626022102013-11-13T16:32:34.895-08:002013-11-13T16:32:34.895-08:00and and i do hope you feel better. i have my flare...and and i do hope you feel better. i have my flare ups too, like today. it sucks, it hurts, it's depressing.vhttp://photoadayblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-31468604177510838672013-11-13T16:31:25.997-08:002013-11-13T16:31:25.997-08:00I don’t know why bad things happen in this life,.....I don’t know why bad things happen in this life,... <br /><br />bible says: time and unforseen occurrence befall us all. things happen, even bad things to good people. none of us are walking around with a protective shield around us. we're human.<br /><br />I don’t see God as a heavenly accountant, moving our lives around like beads on a universal abacus...<br /><br />totally agree and neither do i. he's not out to get us. often times WE are the reason because of the decisions WE make. then when it doesn't go right, we ask God why. when things are going well, people brag about what THEY did. credit only goes to God when things are wrong and i don't think that's fair.<br /><br />in life, we take the good and the bad. we have sickness because we inherited sin from adam. when God created adam he was made perfect, no sickness, but he CHOSE to decide what was right or wrong and here we are. in sickness and in health.vhttp://photoadayblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-54499463552544375742013-11-11T16:18:55.620-08:002013-11-11T16:18:55.620-08:00Yes, Jay, I do believe that God forgives us even a...Yes, Jay, I do believe that God forgives us even as we tear into ourselves. <br /><br />It's been said that the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. That could be also said about spiritual freedom. <br /><br />We have to watch our thoughts, examine our beliefs on a regular basis to weed out those corrosive ideas.<br /><br />Take care.Rob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741955202727936194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-55422371244098669802013-11-11T12:32:14.514-08:002013-11-11T12:32:14.514-08:00Ah .. if only we could forgive ourselves as we for...Ah .. if only we could forgive ourselves as we forgive others (to paraphrase the Lord's Prayer). I'm pretty sure God forgives us, but we simply can't believe Him, can we? We have to carry on punishing ourselves.<br /><br />i suppose it's human nature, but then why do some of us do this, while others can let go? I think you're right: it's unhealthy. It's a form of mental unwellness. We just don't see things right.

So many of us run around convinced we're so terrible.<br /><br />We torture ourselves for no reason and we need to forgive ourselves.<br /><br />Take care, buddy!Rob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741955202727936194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-79310111057255744022013-11-10T20:00:05.484-08:002013-11-10T20:00:05.484-08:00" Blessed are you for you are free from the g..." Blessed are you for you are free from the greatest barrier that human’s put up between us and God’s mercy…human pride.”<br /><br />Exactly, Rob!<br /><br />I truly believe that WE are our own worst enemies and that we inflict so much guilty on ourselves sometimes, that we make whatever we feel we did that was wrong, worse.<br /><br />And I also truly believe that GOD never punishes us, but rather WE punish ourselves.<br /><br />Yes, we may do something that is not good, however, we know it.<br /><br />So perhaps it's more about forgiving ourselves, than God forgiving us.<br /><br />Because He does.<br /><br />And we are loved.<br /><br />Wonderful post, buddy!
