“Forgiveness is one of those topics that many choose not to talk about..and many feel and think that they have forgiven the offenses that have been done against them..but this is the thing..the Lord says that we are to let love cover up the multitude of sin..1 Peter 4:8..and for the most part we pretend that we have loved..and that we have given love to the offender..Amen..but really if we talk about that person..if we are grudging towards that person..and if we are just trying to be right and prove that we are right in the situation and offense then we are not following the act of obedience to Christ..Amen..no it’s not easy forgiving others and their offenses..but I am sure that everything that Jesus went through wasn’t easy either..Amen..and I know that we are not Christ..but we are to model Him in our lives..in the way we conduct ourselves..the way we present ourselves..Amen..so we are told to pray for our enemies..Matthew 5:44..Amen..and I know no one really wants to pray for someone who has hurt them and maybe continually does so..but the thing is it’s all about our hearts..Amen..because our lives the bible says flows from our hearts..everything..Amen..so we have to guard them..Amen..we have to be wise..and again just because you forgive others of their offenses and wrongs..does not mean that you have to again begin a relationship with the offender..but I do know that if we don’t forgive..then we have poison living on the inside of us..when we are not forgiving we reap the consequences of not forgiving..not the other people who has offended..but you..Amen!”

“But either way we have to listen to Gods word and what He says for us to be doing..Amen..we can’t hear others and what they think we should do..because most of the time others give wrong opinions..Amen..because really people live in the eye for an eye tooth for a tooth mentality..you do something to me..and I will do something to you..but that is not what Jesus requires..Amen..for you see now we are under grace..Gods grace so we are to live there at all times..always denying ourselves..being obedient..and following hard after Christ..and what He wants from you and from I..and believe me the Lord fights our battles..He always does..but still to wish harm on someone..to not forgive someone is not Christ like..so we must get busy at all times..taking heed to watch over our lives..our hearts..our minds..over what we say..over everything..because to be where you need to be in the Lord..you must grow..and growth is not always easy..but again obedience is better than sacrifice..1 Samuel 15:22..so let us hear..let us respond..and let us follow through with forgiving..Amen..loving and praying for the wrongs..Amen..for the offender..for in doing so..you free yourself to be free in life..and you free yourself from becoming cold..bitter..angry..and or remorseful..and in return we love better..we have more joy..we have more shine..Amen..and we get loads of sparkle from the Lord our God..shining and sharing all the He is to this lost and dying world in which we live..that so desperately needs a Savior..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that 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 ❤
