Nothing is certain. Everything is temporary even good relationships change.
Best friends became strangers. Good marriage turned to divorce. United organizations divided. It is so amazing how two strangers become friends but it is so sad how two friends become strangers. It breaks my heart to see people leave their group of friends, teammates, associates, office mates and spouses. The love and the good memories that once they shared, turned to a nightmare. Criticisms, backstabbing and the strong feeling of dislikes took place, that even mentioning one's name sounds to be a bad word. And the very heartbreaking is, when both sides wait that something harm fall upon the other. And when it happens, the other feels delighted.

Sometimes, it's easy to say that we love someone but when we are tested by fate, the feeling suddenly changes. When the love is gone, hatred and pride left behind which are very insidious. Often, we do not realize we have succumbed to it as we try to prove things right. We merely focus on the imperfections of the person. Isn't that love means to love the imperfect person perfectly?
When someone violate our own rules, why is it so difficult to forgive? Is it because we are terribly hurt? Or, we just refuse to recognize that somehow someway we are wrong too?

I agree with you. Sometimes people are so judgmental. Nice blog.
Nice write up. I can relate.
Janice, I think this is exactly why Jesus told us to "Love one another as thyselves". It is so easy to get caught up in someone else's bad day or bad situation and accept a smirk, angry word, or hurt feeling and to keep them as though it was meant to be forever. I taught my children about the circle of life. What goes around comes around and if bad comes to you, do not send it back or it will come back again. Break the circle and send back good. It works!!!! Your blog made me smile even though it is about a terrible situation for some. It is a great message and I hope it is blessed with finding those that need it dearly.
The problem sometimes with relationships is 1. Not knowing the person you believe you are in love with or who says "I love you." Just because a person say so does not make it so.
2. Not having in mind the purpose and the design of which God has established for the home. Anything outside of that will not produces that which God had in mind for the home.
3. Many are taking advantage of one another for a number of different reasons, because most are willing to have sex before marriage. That does more damage to a person than a little. In fact this is one way to determine if a person is willing to stay with you and be committed to building a long term relationship of which the will build a foundation for their children as well. In other words, you must have the same moral values.
4. Love at first sight? Too many people are watching television imitating what they see and hear. If you believe that you can look at a person and read their minds to determine if they are the one for you, then you need help. Some say God sent him or her. Then later on they say that he or she is the devil.What happen? They put God in it when in fact God had nothing to do with it.
5. People need to understand exactly what love is and how it is being used today. I love cherry pie like I love my girl. Is that ok? Or I Love cherry pie but I love my girl more? What is Love? For some it is a sexual emotion. So for that individual when he says "I love you" it may not be what you think he means. Or is it?
6. Some people have low self esteem and therefore will settle for any thing they can get. Again this is dangerous. It is no wonder there is so many sick people in the United States. So many over weight and suffering from depression. Every one should begin and end their lives putting God first.
So what is all this talk about love? This must be understood first, that is. What exactly do you mean by the words "I Love You?" Have anyone ever asked this question of the one who says "I Love You?" If not. Why not? Stop assuming and ask questions and look for the fruit (the proof).
I Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient, Love suffers long, and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, 5 doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; 6 doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Forgiveness: If you don't comply with God's instructions as to how to be forgiven then he will not for give you.
If a person refuse to repent God will not forgive him. With that being said, God word says, if one do repents we must forgive. Therefore conditions must be met before one and be forgiven
I hope this has helped.
