FORGIVENESS

Todays post is about forgiveness.

"Forgive all who have offended you, not for them, but for yourself."

Forgiveness.

Wow.

I can't even begin to explain what an intense word that is.

It sounds so easy, but it's really not.

Whenever I think about the word 'forgiveness.'

I think about God and how many countless times he's forgiven me...

Forgiven all of us.

It says in the bible,

"But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." Matthew 6:15

And who doesn't want their amazing Father in heaven to forgive them? 

I mean, he was bruised, beaten and crucified for YOUR (and my) sins.

How incredible is that??

Forgiveness is so difficult.

I wish it wasn't so hard, but it is.

But it's doable. Totally doable.

And it's gonna happen with me.

I will forgive those who hurt me.

Not only because it's right, but for myself.
