As The Lord Jesus forgave us we are to forgive others.
But why do some people find it hard to forgive??
Let's forgive and Let Go!!
" Forgiveness does not change the past,
but it does enlarge the future."
" Only the truly forgiven are truly forgiving." (C.S. Lewis)
" Revenge is the raging fire that consumes the arsonist." (Max Lucado)
"Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future."
" Forgiveness is freeing up and putting to better use the energy once consumed by holding grudges, harboring resentments, and nursing unhealed wounds. It is rediscovering the strengths we always had and relocating our limitless capacity to understand and accept other people and ourselves."
" Remember, forgiveness frees you. It recaptures the energy that you were giving away in sadness, anger, and revenge. Forgiveness also empowers you. It puts you back in charge of you. "
" When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free."
" The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing."
" Forgiveness means to pardon the unpardonable, or it is no virtue at all."
" Forgiveness offers tremendous personal blessing."
“ Forgiveness is not an emotion, it's a decision.”
" To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was YOU."

(THE UNFORGIVEN SERVANT)
ReplyDeleteJesus told this Story... The Kingdom of God is like a king who decided to collect the money his servants owed him.
when the King began to collect his money. a servant who owed him several thousand pounds was brought to him.
But the servant did not have enough money to pay his master, the King.
So the master ordered that everything the servant owned should be sold,
even the servants wife and children
then the money would be used to pay the King what the servant owed.
But the servant fell to his knees and begged,"Be patient with me, and I will pay you everything I owe".
The master felt sorry for his servant and told him he did not have to pay it back,
Then he let him Go free.
Later that same servant found another servant who owed him a few pounds.
The servant grabbed him around the neck and sais,"Pay me the money you owe me!.
The other servant fell on his knees and begged him.
"Be patient with me and I will pay you everything I owe".
But the first servant refused to be patient. He threw the other servant into prison
until he could pay everything he owed.
When the other servants saw what had happened they were very sorry.
So they told went and told their master all that had happened
Then the master called his servant in and Said.
"you evil servant! Because you begged me to forget what you owed, I told you that you did not have to pay anything
You should have shown mercy to that other servant, just as I showed mercy to you."
The master was very Angry and put the servant in prison to be punished until he could pay everything he owed.
This King did what my heavenly Father will do to you if you do not forgive your brother or sister from your heart." (Matthew 18:23-35)
" HOW TO FIND FORGIVENESS THROUGH GOD'S GRACE, MERCY, AND LOVE "
Forgiving someone who has hurt you deeply will probably be one of the hardest things you will ever do. The freedom you will experience when you do finally forgive will be worth all the pain and effort it requires! Ultimately, offering true forgiveness cannot be accomplished w
