"And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as god in Christ forgave you" - Ephesians 4:32
Forgiveness is probably the hardest thing to give. For some reason it is easier to hold a grudge than to set free ourselves and those who have wronged us. We should pray for forgiveness more than anything else. If we don’t let go we disconnect our self from god and the happiness he has to give us. He cant forgive us until we forgive others. What purpose does it serve holding anger and resentment in. They are weights we choose to exhaust ourselves with. We should allow ourselves and god to lift these weights from our soul and choose to believe in the happiness he want us to have. We should remember that every person is different. There for people do things for different reasons and we may never understand. We should try to be more tolerant and not judge. I need to learn this message myself. I am in search of your words and want to be what it is you want me to be. I believe that if I can learn to forgive and not to judge, I can better follow your path. I want you to know that I am trying. I ask of you god to instill me with your awesome power, to help me give the forgiveness that others have denied me in the past. Also I need help forgiving myself. I have done wrong things in the past that I know you have already forgiven and forgotten about. I just cant help wonder if these actions have rooted themselves in me. I know the fact that I am trying and I am concerned is a good start. Just please lord be with me when I slip up. I love you with all my heart and need you words to be happy. More now then ever.
