Christian's: Forgiveness is key, right?
i never have had a problem with forgiving, so this feeling of anger and all my insides boiling is really upsetting me.
theirs this girl named lisa, we used to be best friends until one day she just stopped talking to me and started spreading rumors around school about me, i later found out that it was her mother who said she would rather us not hang-out because my mother didn't want to be apart of her mums net-work of friends (my mum is very shy and doesn't get along in big crowds) so now 2 years later i still get so upset and feel hate towards her when every i hear her name or see her in town.
i don't want to be her friend i just want to stop feeling so hurt and mad at her, and i hate not being able to forgive her.
how do i forgive?
what would you do in this situation?

You need to forgive her and move on,do you not realize that this hate is making you miserable while she is laughing it up,,let God do the
repaying,which he will, please don;t let this keep you sad
you don;t even need to worry about people like that,
they are not even in your league, your better than that,so forgive
and by all mean,s forget them.

Here is a key to acting out anything that you read in the Bible...
Stand on it. I don't mean literally, but rather take a stand against the thing that is hindering you. The Word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword, able to cut through the darkness. Rather than let yourself keep feeling this way, first declare "It is said, 'love your enemies and pray for those who persecutes you.'" Then confess to God of letting yourself linger in anger, ask Him to make you free from it, ask Him to fill the voids that will be left by letting go of that anger, pray for the girl who spread the rumors, that she could be forgiven as well.
And then in the future whenever you start feeling that sense of unforgiveness and anger, just recite that verse... "It is said, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Therefore, be gone, Satan." That is how Jesus dealt with temptation. Whenever he was tempted, he merely recited the Word of God, and Satan then had no power over him.

as humans our nature is not to forgive. not forgiving is easy but forgiving is hard. but know that forgiveness is necessary to live in peace. you see forgiving does not mean you forget what happened it means for you, you start to heal yourself. anger and bitterness are the opposite of life. forgiveness is life.
that is why God gave His Son Jesus as a sacrifice. so we could be forgiven and learn to forgive others. no matter what has happened God has been through it a billion times more. if God had not forgiven us maybe God would have died or a piece of God. but God has forgiven us and is waiting for us to make a choice to accept His forgiveness.
look at other people around you. see their pain and then try to help. give some advice to a friend. help an old person mow their yard. if you see a thirsty man give him a drink of water. if you see a hungry man give him a piece of bread. but always give credit to God.
Peace!!

We can only truly forgive through Jesus, when we are forgiven we learn to forgive and it is a process. It does not happen all at once, it develops over time with God working in us.
Matthew 7:8-12 (New International Version)
8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
9"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets
take care.

remember how much you've been forgiven Eph. 4:32
relinquish "your" right to get even Romans 12:19
repeat the process for as long as it takes Matt 18:21-22
responding to evil with good Luke 6:27-28
We had this actual sermon today :-) Happy Sabbath, please read the scripture to help you get through what we all have to it is necessary to forgive because YOU are the only one who suffers in the long run, not the one who sinned against you, they go on happily in their lives...

Remember how Christ has forgiven you. Can you do any less? You can not receive forgiveness unless you give forgiveness. So tell God you want to forgive her but are having a hard time letting it go. He will help you.

under the new covenant where jesus has taken all sin away never to see them again and cried out from the the cross it is finished paid in full, the only sin jesus said was still in the world was unbelife in me,so under the newcovenant we are to forgive our brother or sister as christ has forgiven you, tell her that and move on with life.

Personally I ask God to remove feelings of hate (although it is rare for me to want to :P ) anyway that acctually works whenever I do do it though I'm not even kidding
or confront her about it, but try not to go like crazy ape **** up on her @ss

Just say your prayers and ask God to help you forgive her.It really isn't worth worrying about her.

I would find it hard to forgive her. But i think that you would be able to forgive now.
You forgive when you are ready.
I like your little thingy there. (:
