Today is Sunday January 17, 2016. Many people have made new years resolutions, but I wonder how many have made it their resolution to forgive? Have you made it your resolution to forgive all those that have done wrong to you? I can sit here and quote scripture and tell you what the Word says but let us take another approach. Forgiveness is not about the other person, it is about you. It is about you saying that they will no longer have power over your life and you are choosing to move forward. We have all made mistake and committed errors. How can we expect God to forgive us if we do not forgive others? Remember that we are not innocent of any sin. One of the hardest things for a person to do is forgive. The person who did us wrong will probably never apologize or ask for forgiveness. In those cases we must just take the higher path and forgive. Release yourself from that grip that they have on you so you can peacefully move forward. I would rather have peace of mind than sadness and anger in my heart. So what is your resolution? I hope that forgiveness is one of them.
Stay strong and ever so vigilant. God loves you and so do I.
