Sometimes people do me wrong, and they donโt seem to care. They certainly donโt apologize to me or ask forgiveness. Yet Jesus makes it clear I have to forgive them anyway, if I want my sins to be forgiven!
Mark 11:25-26, says:
And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But IF YOU DO NOT forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.
When someone wrongs me and doesnโt apologize, this Scripture really helps me to forgive. I remind myself itโs my glory to take the high road and forgive.
May we continue subscribing to the teachings of Christ and submitting to His authority so that we acquire the power to forgive always because Forgiveness is not something you earn for years of service after you come to Christ. Forgiveness is by the grace of God.
God has He lifted your burdens before? He will do it again!God can give you a new song and a hope for tomorrow.The sweetest revenge that you will ever experience is to forgive and forget totally.
Forgiveness is a full pardon, a fresh start, a new chance, and a new beginning. Forgiveness is not burying the hatchet with the handle up just in case you need it again.Forgiveness is essential for emotional healing. It is not optional.When you forgive, joy will replace grief. Peace will replace anger. Love will replace hate. Contentment will replace frustration.Your mental, emotional, and physical health will surge with life when you forgive others.Forgiveness is not a prize to be run for. It is a blessing to be received.

Forgiveness brings healing that nothing else can. Bitterness is a cancer that steals your joy and your future.
If you are having a hard time forgiving someone (or even yourself) ask God to help you.
He will deliver you from the pain & bitterness and replace it with joy & peace.

I have experienced firsthand the feeling or relief when realizing that I was not longer angry at my dad for the selfish, fleshly choices that he made when I was growing up.

Awwwwwww thanks for sharing that honey. That’s the highest level of forgiveness. Many people cannot access their destiny Because of the hurt from their parents. They want to carry the hurt with them into their destiny and that’s not possible. I am so proud of you. For me, I couldn’t hold anything against him because he died๐ญ. He made worse off decisions but I am now of age and I know this life is for the strong and not the easy gowers. If you lack awareness &Jesus you can end up making all the bad decisions along the way.
