Recently some people have tried to take advantage of their friendship with me and the fact that I'm a nice guy. As in acting like I don't exist or will say something very negative to me , like I'm annoying for only trying to have a sense of humor. Which my very own father did to me along with other abusive things when he was married to my mother. The rest of that story is to hard to even think about and I shall not bother you all with it.
I'm really having a hard time to forgive and not get angry with these people and say something that I'll regret later on.
Dealing with fickle people who don't appreciate people who are nice and try their hardest to serve the Lord can be quite tiring:mutter:.
I don't even know why I'm posting here in the first place.
It seems that I bother somebody most of the time for just trying to be nice to them, Sigh. At least God loves me.
Sorry to burden you all with this. Just going through a difficult time at the moment.
Happy Sabbath to you all.
God Bless, and may peace be with you.
Sort of having a hard time forgiving some people that have wronged me.

Some of my favorite scriptures.
Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

I think everyone feels that way once in a while or even more then that. I know I have ^ ^ Just hang in there and if they don't want your friendship.. Then that's their lost ^^ Just keep saying your hellos to them and leave it up to them to continue a conversation with you or not ^ ^
I know how you feel... It's not a very nice feeling is it
?
I'll pray for you ^ ^

I know the feeling and it isn't at all nice... I'm praying for you, and I hope that you can find a reserve of strength from God's Spirit inside you to forgive, even when you just don't want to.

Thank you Lucky and Neko Chan. God has helped me calm down a bit. However its still pretty hard to simply forgive them and forgets this. I'd still appreciate any prayers. I need all the help I can get for this situation.
God Bless.

Oh man, I have this problem a LOT. I am really petty and hold grudges easily.
We all know that Jesus tells us to forgive as God forgives our own sin, so I don't feel like it's worthwhile to just parrot that verse here. Hrm... I know that as Christians, we usually don't believe in, you know, the karmic circle, but I think a loose interpretation here can apply-- at the very least, think of your own well-being. I'm a little dry and overly practical, so I like to think of my relationships with friends and acquaintances as a bank account-- doing good for a person adds to my balance, getting angry or taking favors subtracts. I want to have a higher balance so that people will be more willing to help me out in the future, and getting angry is a waste of money. Yeah, the model is never 100% accurate, but it's been enough to make me hold my tongue from lashing out (at least sometimes). I guess if you think of forgiving someone not only as turning the other cheek but also something that you might derive benefit from, that might help. Don't know how, er, biblical this is (but the bank idea I heard in church! iono.)
Man, what was that line in that manga that I read again? Something like "Getting angry is punishing yourself for other's wrongdoings." I remember it was a pretty simple, shallow manga, but I read that and I was LIEK WHOA. How wiiiiiiise!

Thank you Prince Absel, Hana, minakichan. I'm starting to feel much better. Thanks to God. Its still a bit hard to not feel angry towards them. Which of cours is what the enemy is tempting me with. Ugh..Its just sad and tiring when people take a good person for granted.
God will help me prevail in this.
Thank you all for your for your support. I really appreciate it. If you wish to continue to pray for this situation. I'd appreciate it.
God Bless.
