About something important, about something real?”

Song Of Gomer lyrics
by Michael Card
Don't know what he sees in me
He is spirit, he is free
And I, the wife of adultery
Gomer is my name.
Simply more than I can see
How he keeps on forgiving me;
How he keeps his sanity
Hosea, you're a fool.
Chorus:
A fool to love someone like me,
A fool to suffer silently;
Though sometimes through your eyes I see
I'd rather be a fool.
The fondness of a father,
The passion of a child;
The tenderness of a loving friend
An understanding smile.
All of this and so much more,
You've lavished on a faithless whore
I've never known love like this before
Hosea, you're a fool.
Chorus:
A fool to love someone like me,
A fool to suffer silently;
Though sometimes through your eyes I see
I'd rather be a fool.
Bridge:
This God of yours would not have told
To lift a love that you couldn't hold;
And though time and time again I flee,
I'm always glad to see you coming after me!
Simply more than I can see,
How he keeps on forgiving me
The wife of adultery;
Gomer is my name.

I have been reading and thinking about anger and emotions.Valerie wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 10:52 pm Lately I have had anger & I'm even angrier that I have it. The Bible says " be angry & sin not". Looking at the diagram I can recognize a couple, perhaps a few of things below the surface that could be contributing.
My approach in the last several decades is to let the Scriptures form my perspective, & be a mirror- yet lately anger keeps rising above the surface- addressing the underlying causes takes facing those and giving them over to God through prayer, His Word, & perhaps seeking a Godly counselor to walk through the issues. Thanks for sharing-
In Matthew 12:31-32, Jesus declares, “Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this world or in the world to come.”
Often, Christians worry about whether they have committed this unforgivable sin unknowingly, particularly because this verse does not do much to clarify the nature of the transgression.
This quandary provides a prime example of why it’s so important to read Scripture in context:
the immediately preceding discussion between Yeshua and the Pharisees shows that the unforgivable sin is attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to the work of Satan. .. ..
“What is the Unforgivable Sin?”

It can be a trap.Description:
Like it or not, each person has moments of determining what to do with the feeling of hatred.
Healthy people accept that the emotion exists, but they don't allow themselves to be defined by it.
Dr. Les Carter explains that narcissists have so much to "gain" by this emotions that it ultimately eats away at the potential for an effective life.
