Thank you so very much for that outstanding post, dear brother in Christ!

What a marvelous analysis of the root of the problem, e.g. control and our reluctance to relinquish it.

That makes it hard to LET GO AND LET GOD. But abandoning our security, our all to God is the ONLY way we CAN LOVE others regardless. . . . especially, our enemies.

Truly said. Seems to me there are hurts that run so deeply in our mortal lives that the only way we can forgive is to turn it completely over to Jesus and walk away, trusting Him to heal us and help us not pick it up again lest the hurt returns.

Quite so.

Do you have any . . . concise exhortations to help make that easier, quicker . . . more complete, more efficacious. There are some of us who have a hard time effecting that . . . transaction sufficiently well, to our . . . confident satisfaction???
