  It's easier to forgive a stranger than one's family.

  This is really profound.  What a courageous and faithful woman.  It was something how she said she went up the mountain in Tahoe and after a fast asked God to help her forgive.  She admitted it was an act of God that enabled her to forgive her father's murderer after that day.

  Praying for your enemies and praying for frenemies along with Praising God, , just  Praise Him and stop complaining. Then you’ll see your life soar. You CAN experienceHIS PROMISES,  The Psalms. Claiming His Promises. I’m still Catholic and I’m so GRATEFUL. JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU!

  For me, it started about 10 years after being taken hostage during a riot. There were 4 groups of people I needed to let go of the anger and let go of the hatred, forgiving. First group: inmates, 2nd: parents, 3rd: Correctional officers and staff, 4th: friends. I was taken hostage- against my will, I did all the things I needed to do to get help. But, I was the one blamed for take over and destruction of my unit. On a stronger note the brutal stabbing, beating, rape, terrorizing of 5 male officers. 3 were giving up as dead by inmates. When they started coming around, they negotiated for their release to be taken to hospital. That left me and 2 officers hostage. I was only female officer, so I was negotiated for next. The resentment of this being done, hated, COs refusing to work with me, told to come back to work as soon as I left the hospital. No one else came back for over a year. My father refused to pick up my child from babysitter. For 3 1/2 days she didn't know why my son wasn't picked up. I don't remember the time when the unit went down till I was being told to go into bathroom. Nightmares every night for months, later weekly, waking up terrified and no idea why. I had a hatred and anger. When I got the letter stating I was responsible for takeover and destruction of unit, I truly snapped. The captain actually raised his fist to strike me and an alarm went off and he had to go to main control find out why, I snapped and went to kill him. But one day I found God and felt a need to forgive my family. Couple years later, inmates and officers. Then last of all, myself. This would take 30 years to come to a point, I was at peace. God given gift of peace, joy of the Lord.

  Amazing story! ALL FOR GODs GLORY!!<br>There&apos;s a movie with Stephen Baldwin named LOVING THE BAD MAN. The main character got pregnant by her rapist and she started a friendship by visiting him in prison and taking the baby with her. Another amazing story.
