Be honest before a Holy God!

The good done to me is often hindered by the bad committed by the same person. The task to forgive is never in doubt yet the pain still remains.
Is it true that the pain caused by loved ones hurt the most? To reconcile the good and the bad done to me by the same person is never easy!
Quoting scripture is easy but living scripture takes a toll if the Holy Spirit is denied access.
Whilst others focus on the person's good of which is all they know, the victim has to battle with the good and the bad done by the same person.
In the passing or death of a loved one, tribute is never their wrongs and rightly so. Yet honesty is seldom overpowered by denial. The truth is that not all pain vanishes into thin air. Perhaps in many ways it is there to remain as a spiritual limp that humbles us even further!
And so as the world cheers the good done by him that has hurt me most, I to have an obligation to be thankful for the good done to me by the same.
Whilst the world cheers him who has hated me most and yet also has done the most good to me, I remain weak in understanding this dilemma.
Many today are in this position and feel obligated that the pain must be erased from mind and the focus should be on the good instead! Being Spirit filled never always erases pain and for most part because we refuse to be honest to God about it! We have settled that we must forgive and get on! But how? The carnal mind can never do so alone!
When the believer is honest about this mystery he is then helped by the Lord to carry the burden or simply release it all. In both cases there is a comfort and life goes on. But only with the Lord by your side! The truth is that pain can still remain to humble us but not unforgivenes. Love is patient and waits on God for Him to do as He pleases!
Denial of hurt is never an option yet honesty before a Holy God is!
Pray without ceasing!
