Why do we feel the need to retaliate against others so easily?…is it because maybe we don’t really forgive when we bend our knees and bow our heads to pray to Jesus…and we seek His face to ask of Him to forgive us and to help us to forgive others..for we all know what the word of God says, and that is for us to be forgiven we ourselves must forgive…Matthew 6:14..so my question is do we really forgive?…or do we just gather up all of the injustices that has been done to us when we get up there from our altars…do we pick them things that we supposingly layed down back up and carry them along side with us?…because I do believe that a lot of people does…almost as if the forgiveness that God has given isn’t enough…almost as if the justification that God offers and that God gives just isn’t at all enough…we seem to want to keep hold of it and hold tightly to it…all of them wrongs that is…but all the while failing to see that it is only hurting us…and were not getting any more freedom or help by carrying it along with us..the only thing we get is extra package and extra weight..which gets heavy over time..for the more you hold on to something…the more it grows and gets deep down within our minds and within our hearts…and it spoils all of that good that God is trying to birth and trying to bring to pass in our lives…because it hinders us…and it makes remain unchanged…for by choosing to not really forgive really is nothing more than wanting more of something from it…wanting maybe more recognition from it…or maybe more understanding from it…maybe just a little more justification from it…I’m not really sure…but I do know that when you get to a place personally in your life where you can talk about a situation that has occurred…or even mention a persons name without crying…without getting upset and or getting mad and angry…then you have reached that place in your life as to where you have forgiven them and you are free!…Praise the Lord…and then as well you’ll know that you have total freedom when you can pray for them ones in whom has hurt you or done wrong to you…for scripture says to pray for your adversary…and if they be hungry to feed them…if they be thirsty give them something to drink…for in doing so you heap coals of fire upon their heads…Romans 12:20..see we overcome evil with good…Romans 12:21…we don’t do to others what they do to us..but we do to others what we would have for them to do unto us…Luke 6:31…for when we forgive, we let go, and we trust God for the wrong doing…for the hurt…for the pain…for all of them things that’s been said and or has been done…and guess what guys?…God is the best vindicator..for God takes care of us His children…so let go of any hurts that’s been done to you..and always remember to be forgiven we ourselves must always choose to forgive…so I pray we all forgive and continually forgive in our lives…for offenses the word of God says will come but woe unto them from whence they come…Matthew 18:7…for freedom is such a beautiful thing, and that is where we all want to be in our lives, and that is free guys..and free in “ALL” areas of our lives..so let us make that our goal in life…In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray…Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
