Sunday's Meditation--forgive
As long as you don't forgive, who and whatever it is will occupy rent-free space in your mind.
Matthew 6:14 You can't get forgiveness from God, for instance, without also forgiving others. If you refuse to do your part, you cut yourself off from God's part. (The Message)
So true. But I have yet to be able to accomplish this with one person. Not only is that person never out of my mind, the failure to be able to forgive is, also. Hopefully, this will come someday.
ReplyDeleteSo true. I went through a long, painful forgiveness process a few years back. Until that point in my life I had never believe that forgiveness was for me and not that person. It doesn't come w/o much prayer and closeness with God. That's always the fist step, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteyes, it is true.
