I want to live and breath forgiveness and that makes me clean before my God. When we can say, "I forgive and it is well with my soul and all things work together for good" that is when we can truly be happy and peaceful. You see, God doesn't ask us to do anything that we can not do. When we hold on to something that happened yesterday, the day before or even 30 years ago, we are only making our lives miserable. Let it go in the name of Jesus and you will experience a life of love, joy, happiness, and peace.
You see our spiritual journey is not about what church you sit in but about growing. If you are in the same place spiritually that you were 2,5,10 years ago then I would have to ask..... Why? Everyday and every situation is a chance to learn and grow. I am glad to say that I don't feel like the same person I was yesterday. I am learning to let go of the past and love unconditionally and it is not because of ME it is because of God. I am letting HIM change me.
When you think about it, what difference does it make if the person you forgive hasn't changed? What does that have to do with your personal journey? Does the word of God say that we have to forgive ONLY IF THEY DESERVE IT? Ummm I don't think so. You see..... we all will stand before God and the only person he is going to look at is US during our time of judgement and the excuses that we have on why we couldn't or should I say wouldn't forgive are not going to be excused.
Challenge yourself to forgive today. I promise that it will bring you peace :) I know what it has done in my life. God is so good all the time.
Love you all!
