goodbye is never easy to say and hello was even harder so do I turn now and walk away or pray that you will take me as I am even though we both know you never could I could say that I need this that you are everything my life is missing but again we both know that is not true you hurt me so bad and I cried a river of tears and yet I long for you still I ask God to show me the way how many times must I stand before you hopeing that you will love me for me how many times must I bear my soul only to have you try to change it how many tears do I cry wondering what it is about me you could never love how many times must I look into the faces of the children you did love the ones you chose above me how many times must I hear how you would change me how many times must I hate you and forgive God how many times do I let him destroy me How much do I change to please him he is my father and I love him but how many times do I have to remember all the years he ignored me all the times he said I wasnt good enough all he tried to take from me God, true Father, when is it time to say goodbye? Isaiah 1:18 |

Forgiveness Versus the Restoration of Trust When you forgive you set aside Your thirst to extract payment Allowing men to crucify your pride To die for others is why you’ve been sent When you forgive you must release Even though emotions are not appeased Even though you are precisely right And your opponents deserve a fierce fight When you forgive you do not betray The claim on justice for the King Nor do you from righteous principles stray Though your intellect to the altar bring When you forgive He never promised a sense That the relationship would have mend In fact it may remain quite tense Should the offender see no need rescind Forgiveness you’ll find to be a process Not a flick of the switch and all is right Emotions return like soldiers from fortress To assault you in the middle of night War a good warfare and fight a good fight Behold you participate in your deliverance By My Spirit, son, and not by your might From resentment’s anger have severance Trust, you must see a different matter Be counseled to distinguish the two Having been honest with foe about his failure The offender must now come to you While you wait, pray is what scriptures say Because the day may come or not Ask for the grace to love any way If he desires your trust, it must be sought Love, LayItDown |

Sometimes it is just as easy to simply accept them for what they are, and just be ourselves. This is a sad pain I am afraid many will identify with. |

Allstaria22: I'm sorry for what you are going through! I can certainly relate to your feelings and there are no ready answers. You simply cannot change people or force them to love and value you! They either do or they don't and at some point you have to live your life without that! Sometimes, without them too. Betty Lou Hebert |

Wow..can I ever relate to this. I have this same problem with my mother. I feel sorry for them, because people like me, and you....at least we *can* feel love. I only pray they can someday. It breaks my heart they can't feel love. Sending a  SharaRose @-->-- Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer! |
