Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us...

I heard a really terrible story today. It was about a fight a couple had. I was in tears from the terrible things x said to y. This was bad enough, but in retaliation y satisfied herself with saying a bunch of terrible things about x. The problem with relationships is that both people in them aren't perfect but expect some vision of perfection from the other person or from the relationship. And instead of realizing that nothing works they stay in the toxic pit of depression so long as the other person is dragged down with them. The saddest part is after hearing this story from my nightmares I thought, okay finally now she will realize this needs to end. But the more y talked the more I saw she was going to keep the relationship going if she had any possible chance. Because people are that afraid of being alone. And that is what made me sicker than anything. 

Thank God for being single.

thank God for people who confess their sin. 

thank God for redemption. 

thank God for sanctification.

thank God for forgiveness.
