​Choose to Forgive

Last time I wrote a few things about love and relationships.  An important ingredient in any relationship is forgiveness.  If you hold onto a grudge or disappointment, it will eat at you and steal your joy.   That’s just what the devil wants, by the way.

Of course it isn’t easy to forgive, but I promise you that if you ask Abba Father to give you supernatural forgiveness for someone, He will do that.  I once heard that holding onto unforgiveness is like taking poison and then waiting for the other person to die.

Maybe it’s not someone else that you need to forgive – maybe it’s yourself!   That’s so very hard to do, but again, ask the Lord for His help.   Let His peace flow through you.  

Now that you’ve forgiven others and also forgiven yourself, you are ready to be a blessing to someone.   Don’t hold back, remember, every day of your life is an opportunity to be a blessing to someone!

Yeshua forgave those who persecuted Him, so if He could do it, so can you!
