FORGIVENESS

In our everyday walk, we must learn to walk in 'forgiveness'. For it is our duty that Jesus set for our example in the Lord's prayer. To wit, unforgiveness has to be dealt with BEFORE forgiveness can take place. Hurting people hurt other people. Unforgiveness defiles you; brings on sickness, anger, resentment (to name a few). It also can cause adaptation of the same character as the one who hurt you. Forgiveness then, is the ability to cease from demanding punishment or restitution to another. It is also the ability to release someone who didn't even "ask you", wishing them no harm.
*Forgiveness MUST replace the thirst for revenge.
**The best revenge by far is "forgiveness".
Make sure you walk in forgiveness. Start today. It is the beginning of your healing.
