The Word of God instructs us to forgive one another as Christ has so willingly forgiven us. Why is it so hard to forgive? Do we feel some sense of justification by holding on? Do we realize that unforgiveness keeps ourselves and our offenders in bondage?
Unforgiveness leaves an open door for bitterness, resentment & anger to walk right in. It also keeps you and the offender in an emotional prison. Who wants to live under those circumstances? It is so empowering to release and love those who have hurt, abandoned, betrayed or offended us. The offense only lasts as long as we permit it to. Take your life back and begin to enjoy all things and all people by forgiving. The Word of God instructs us to forgive one another as He forgave us. Awesome assignment. Will He find one faithful to His Word? Any takers?
Let's start dealing with our unforgiveness and realize that forgiveness is a POWERFUL tool that love produces. You want to be powerful? Start forgiving for real, and watch the power of God manifest in your life.
Let's not forget where we've come from and how much forgiveness we've needed and will need. If it had not been for the Lord God loving us the way He does.....OMG!
