There has been 3 key verses from Matthew West's song, "Forgiveness" that keep playing over & over in my mind.  (Check out the music video here: http://youtu.be/h1Lu5udXEZI) 

"Show me how to love the unloveable. . ."  Jesus did in Luke 23:24.

"Show me how to reach the unreachable. . ."  God did in John 3:16.

"And the last thing on my mind today. . ." This was the 1st & only thing on Jesus' mind.  Hebrews 12:2.

Why?  His beautiful love He had for each one of us that filled His heart with joy!  James 1:2-3.

When we can truly surrender all of our hurts, trials & tribulations over to Him, He will come in & 
fill you with His beautiful peace, joy & love! John 16:33.

My mind knows all of this, so God sent me this visual with my un-smartphone: Calls will go through, but I cannot hear what the caller is saying or it is garbled. Their words echo and are not clear or my phone will drop the call and I become frustrated. If it is an important message the caller will call back until they can be heard. Many times I will tell them to call me on another phone so I can hear their message clearly.  
  
This is my heart as I try to forgive others that have hurt me.  Right now it's having a hard time trying to receive this message. Forgetting is what I think is blocking the message about forgiveness.

I have been praying because this is consuming me.  I desire to be a woman who loves.  And I know that this is hindering my walk.  Throughout the day, I keep on looking up & back to the Cross.  This is where it all started.  Then God gave me another visual.  & I know that with Jesus' help, He will help me to be an overcomer so that I can do the impossible!  Philippians 4:13.  

All because if I say I love God, then I MUST forgive just He did to me!  

****************************************
Without forgiveness and mercy we cannot love.  We can’t do this without the Holy Spirit.  We need the Holy Spirit.  We need each other.
