No matter how easy the wrong choice seems to be, knowingly and continually choosing the easy way out will complicate life in the end. Make the hard choices, put the work in and eventually you'll see why it's worth it. - Hillary (just something I realized this morning)
Forgiveness
Praying for someone who has done something to hurt you can be one of the hardest things to do. Our instinct as humans is to react to pain in a defensive way, to want to hurt back. But, Christians are called to react outside of our sinful natures. We are called to forgive, and we are called to love. And there isn't any time-frame or stipulations made with that charge. We are to forgive a person, no matter the number of times they have hurt us, and there is nowhere that says we are to wait for an apology... we are to forgive and love, no matter the conditions of the situation, no matter how heinous the act, regardless of the other persons state or repentance.
Does that mean we continually expose ourselves to hurtful situations, or let ourselves be mistreated? No, sometimes it is right to step back from a situation. But, it does mean that we are to love that person regardless, and forgive them for their actions... not for the other persons sake, but for our own. Forgiveness benefits the forgiver... true forgiveness, releases you from any grudges you may carry, which can weigh heavy on your heart, and do no one more damage than to yourself.
Truly forgiving someone, helps you heal from the hurt, even without apology.
Should people apologize? Yes, but sometimes the situation, for one reason or another, doesn't permit it. Regardless, we are still called to forgive.
I think it's also important to remember, that forgiving someone doesn't necessarily take away the pain of the hurtful act, but it is a step in the healing process. Time and seeking God continuously with keep your steps toward true healing, who better to provide that than the ultimate physician we have in Christ our Savior?

There's a healing need inside. To cover pain and what feels like lies. So torn, it feels like I'm in two. So tired, I just don't know whats true. But I promised I'd be strong. No shed tears, it feels so wrong. When letting go could be relief. I can't fearing it'd bring more grief. With So many questions that could rise. All I want to know is why? ~Hillary A. Harvie

Unconditional Love
There are a few things I know to be true. God is the only true source of unconditional love. Agape love is defined as selfless, sacrificial, unconditional love.
Secondly I know that we are commanded to love one another.
John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.(NKJV)
I know that everyone has sinned. Romans 3:23 tells us "For ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
There is a long list of things (some I may not even know) can be considered sin,
Romans 1,
29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
11 And such were some of you.
God is the Judge, We are not to judge one another, unless we want to be judged ourselves.
John 8:3-10
“Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”
We are to forgive those that hurt us.
Matthew 6:14-15
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Matthew 18
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.[g]
We are to love one another, with an unconditional love. We are to forgive those that hurt us. When it comes to relationships, so many people approach things with a selfish attitude. And we take matters into our own hands when it comes to protecting ourselves, from heartache and betrayal.
But for just a moment consider this: Jesus knew that Judas would betray him yet he didn't take it into his own hands to protect himself. Jesus allowed the one who would lead him to his death into his inner circle and had called him a friend.
People make mistakes. We aren't to judge people by those mistakes. Everyone has struggles, and frankly NONE of us deserve the kind of love that God provides and wants us to have for each other.
Without going into too much detail. I am hurting badly. Someone I love very much made a mistake... but so have I in the past. Big ones and little ones BUT We are human we can't help but think a little white lie is harmless compared to betrayal. But there is no difference.
We all have our struggles. And we all want to be loved, and in the end as long as a person is doing their best, how much more can we ask?
Does someone who battle with addiction have less of a desire to have someone to love? Does someone who struggles with anger? Greed (Gambling)? Lust? Pornography? Faithfulness? Lying? But wait you say... those are all different, those are deal breakers.... but Should they be??
If a person has acknowledged their weaknesses, and makes a conscious effort then what they need is love, not condemnation. Does that give them a pass?? no... does it mean that you should allow yourself to be a doormat? No...
For me it is vital for both parties to have a relationship with God to make it through certain struggles, Cause chances are you won't have the same convictions if one of you is not.
And I believe as long as both people are truly seeking God individually as well as a couple they can overcome any struggle.

My She Reads Truth Devotional.... It struck home big
Tomorrow We are obsessed with tomorrow. It’s just how we are wired. We plan for tomorrow, we worry about tomorrow, we dream about tomorrow, then we change our plans and worry some more. We want to know what’s next. We want to see past the bend in the road. We want to control what is coming our way. And when we can’t? We pretend we can and call it “planning.” (What is the saying? Man plans and God laughs?) In these 5 short verses at the end of Chapter 4, James warns us against boasting in our plans for the future. Why? Because we are so very small. We are but a vapor, and we are certainly not God. Does James mean for us to literally preface everything with a flippant “If the Lord wills?” “I’m getting a haircut on Saturday, Lord willing.” “If the Lord wills, I will stop by the grocery store after work.” “I will clean the downstairs bathroom, but only if the Lord wills.” (In my house, I guess the Lord doesn’t often will that one!) If only it were that simple, right? No, the arrogance James speaks of is not cured by cliches or mere semantics. It requires a heart-level change, the habit of holding our plans and dreams with open hands, acknowledging the Lord as King over our past, present and future. Just as Christ himself commands us not to worry about tomorrow in Matthew 6, James reminds us not to charge ahead so confidently that we forget God and fail to seek God’s blessing. But also? We are not to sit idly by. Verse 17 is clear: when God reveals to us what we are to do, when the Holy Spirit leads us to act in faith or move forward with truth, we are to do it. Sins of omission (not doing that which we should do) are no less serious an offense to God’s holiness than sins of commission (doing that which we ought not do). If that last sentence overwhelms you, you are not alone. It overwhelms me, too. All the more reason for us to celebrate the One who holds our tomorrows in His hand. Let us boast in our weakness and His sufficient grace today, not in any plans of our own making.

What he does do is invite us to look at his track record of promise keeping. What he does do is point us to Calvary, where the war was won. What he does do is invite us to trust that he will make the littler things fall into place, each at just the right time. His time. "I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, for he has been good to me" (Psalm 13:5,6). -my reading from my youversion app devotional
