30 Something

At church yesterday my Pastor's wife taught about forgiveness. The scripture reference was Corinthians. She taught us that the Corinthian church was a gifted church. They believe in the gifts of the spirit. However, there was an incident in the church where a man was sleeping with his father's wife. So he was condemned for his act. But in second Corinthians Paul was telling the church that they had to forgive him. He had repented and even though what he did hurt everyone, the only way for the church to heal was to restore him back. She explained that it is one thing to be hurt and not want to deal with the person who hurt you, but it's another thing when you can forgive because when you forgive everyone can move on. She then prayed for people who needed help with forgiveness.

I did't go up for prayer but I did ask God to help me. What Price did to me last year hurt me so bad. It's one thing to be hurt by someone that doesn't mean much. It can be easily gotten over. However, Price and I had been friends for over 10 years and he used me. He was thinking of only himself and his gratification. He could have cared less about me feelings. It took me a long time to get over that, but I believe that God healed me. However, I never told him how I felt. A while ago, I went to visit him and the hurt just came back. I wanted to tell him then, but I just let it go. I didn't want to dig up all that mess, so I just left it alone. However, I'm wondering if I should at least reach out to him to let him know that I still love him as my friend and that I"m over it. I'm just not sure I should.

I do believe that I've forgiven him, but I just don't want the relationship. I don't believe that a relationship with him will be fruitful.
