Forgivness!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forgivness, is a very powerful thing; it can either make up or break you in life. In the past year I have had alot alot of things happen that I have had a hard time forgiving them. Hopefully thees things will only change my life for a little while but they could change my life forever.

Let me just say this, forgivness is a very hard thing to do. Alot of times it's not hard to forgive but to release the harse feeling toward that person. As christans we believe that we need to forgive and forget just as christ did. Which is true we should forgive and forget, but it's alot harder then it sounds.

Most people think that forgiving is just the action of saying it and confessing that you have forgiven that person. "I forgive so-and-so for fin in the blank. There ok i have forgiven them." Wrong O!!!!! You may have said to yourself or to them or to the whole world dosnt mean you have forgivin them. You can say that as many times as you want but if you havnt removed thoose harse feeling and thoughts it's not going to do you any good.Confessing it is only the first step. (i'm sure you can see whats coming next) The second step is to throw it all away, Just leave it all behind. Having this bolder of unforgivness is just going to weigh you down.

The proublem with people is that we went to see justus brought to them. " They did _________ to me, so _________ should happen to them." We all think it and when nothing happens to them we get mad. When you get mad at that person you start to think bad thoughts about them. fisrt it starts with one, then one leads to two and two leads to four ect befor you know it, it's eaten you alive.But with forgivness this woun't happen. When you forgive it takes away the bolder on your shoulders. when the bolder has been lifted you will find it much easyer to worship god with all your heart mind and sould. Which in return will help you forgive. It's a win win.

Like i said in the past year i have had alot of hard times. The other night something reminded me of a person and before i know it I was steaming mad and thinking all theese bad things about them. Then i had a light bulb moment. I had unforgivness toward them. I had been lying, lying to me and my family. I had been saying it with my mouth but not with my mind or heart. So i had to take a good long look inside myself and i saw that i had become an unforgiving person. i never had really ever gotten past step one.

It was very hard but i had to throw it away. It did take some time. I just had to pray and pray and pray and pray and pray some more but i did let it go. When i did it
felt so good. I didnt realize how much i thought about that stuff untill it was gone. i can say it was worth it.

Forgiving isn't easy but it's worth it. You can choose either to soke about it and have a pitty party or just let it go and move on with your life.

So I would encourage you to take a look at your self. Ask yourself. " i'm i __________ __________ __________ a unforgiving person and/or do i have unforgivness in my life.
