I am a firm believer in a kind, loving God, however, that doesn't mean that because I believe that everything i encounter will be happy and joyful. Jesus says that in order for us to be forgiven we must forgive others. He doesn't, however, say that we have to keep ourselves in a bad situation or around bad people because we have to forgive the wrongs done to us. Forgiving others only really helps us let go of the anger or sadness, it truly does less for the 'forgiven' party. The same goes for our actions. Sin is definitely a choice. Just like believing in God is a choice. He does not want to force us to love him. It wouldn't matter as much then. Thanks for the great read! Wow, I really like what you said here.
