Forgive and Show Gentleness

[MajestyJo]

God forgave me, why should I feel that I can't forgive others.

I need to be gentle with myself, I always beat myself up and took on all the blame and took on things that were not mine. As they say, I am where I am at, as a result of decisions made. Often I set myself up to be hurt, and I found that I put expectations on others who were not able to meet them, and when I was rejected or things didn't turn out my way, I was hurt.

Always tried to put my feet in other peoples shoes and try to get an idea as to where they came from. I can't walk in their shoes, but I can find some understanding and some compassion, to go with the forgiveness.
