Even now I can\u2019t forgive Blair and the way he treats his sister, my wife.  I don\u2019t think a day goes by that I don\u2019t have a negative thought towards him and hope only the worst.  When left alone with my thoughts they are always negative and my neighbor behind me and across the street I wish would go away.  <\/p>\n<p>Application: If I would spend more time loving instead of planning revenge I could be a godly man.  Instead my heart is hard towards so many people and they probably don\u2019t even know it.  I need to turn to Jesus every time my heart grows cold and evil and ask for forgiveness and guidance on what I should be doing.  I need to remember how much God loves me and what I really deserve and not what He gives me each day.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer:  My Lord soften this hard heart and show me how to love my neighbor no matter what they do to me.  Give me a spirit of love like your Son and that people will see this loving spirit and be drawn closer to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture Leviticus 19:18 &#8221; `Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself.
