Yes, but sometimes you just have to do the best you can and then move on. Forgiveness does not mean sacrificing yourself or allowing yourself to be taken advantage of again. Some people mistake co-dependence and being "nice" as just good old church sanctioned Christian charity. Thats BS!

Yes, but you must keep them in perspective...Love it telling someone the truth and the truth can be very painful. Often it is during those times that truthfulness/love is identified by the recipient as the opposite of love.....It all has to do with the spirit/motivation behind what you say and do.

Yes, and it is the only way to live your life with any semblance of sanity, mental health, health, and relationship with Jesus Christ or anyone else. These concepts are the very essence of Christianity as Jesus taught us, even in the Father's prayer. The keeping of the laws of the old testament is not attainable, and that is why Jesus came to save us, giving us two new commands, to love the Lord our God with all our heart soul and mind, and to love our neighbors as we would love ourselves. Blessings.

Yes--I believe that respect for those traits allows humans to grow as individuals and as a civilization.Otherwise it is simply chaos,"might makes right" and no progress. However, I also believe in conviction, standing by one's principles and personal accountability for your actions. A good question, thought provoking--

Yes I do but I don't always practice them but I'm glad that they exist because otherwise we would be living in a cold, cruel, unforgiving, and callous world in which everyone was out to do the next person in.

I do though I admit forgiving is something I have difficulty with since I tend to hold grudges.

Yes I do! These are all fruit's of the Holy Spirit. God has shown each and every one of these fruit's to us. Sometimes it is very hard for us to show them to other's but, we have to pray and ask God to help us to show them to other's. May God bless everyone that look's at this page with these Fruit's.

Yes, but only between myself and one person. The love of my life.
