I want to start out by saying that God disciplines me just as much or ever more than my parents do(probably more). He has disciplined me on everything from my attitude to my actions. This past weekend I was struggling tremendously with anger and unforgiveness. I had a great desire to ask my youth pastor for prayer and on Sunday he asked I how I was doing. Of course I said the easy answer . But tonight at youth group he started out by saying "I know that a lot of you have been struggle with this topic (unforgiveness). My youth pastor then preceded to give his testimony involving the murder of his mother. I cannot describe how awful his experience was because I am not fully able to grasp what he went through. However I will say that all the teens pay attention and take to heart everything he says. We greatly respect our youth pastor because of the way he leads us closer to God. Although I have heard most of his testimony before it really spoke to me because of how I hold on to grudges. After all if He forgave the murders then I think I can handle a few hurt feelings.
