I'm going to write about something completly different from all my other blogs. I'm not going to write about hair I am however going to write about life. And forgiveness in life. Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to do in life. People have hurt others feelings so bad at times and you don't even know how to forgive them. The thing is if you don't forgive them you will live your life with that regret about not forgiving that person. I mean think about it do you actually want to give that person/persons the satifaction of you not forgiving them. Its not hurting them, its hurting YOU!!! Yes, YOU!!! It does more harm than good to hold on to that kind of hate towards a person. "But I don't hate that person I just don't forgive them". Its the same thing!! You holding onto that unforgiveness is basically saying you HATE that person. And God does not like that. God forgave all of us publicly I mean that's the best forgiveness one person could give to another. And we can't go up to a person and say sorry?? Well if we can't that's the devil working aganist us. So let's look at some scripture on forgiveness.
Ok the first verse is Matthew 6:14-15 " for if you forgive other people when they sin aganist you, your heavenly father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins". Now this verse is pretty clear! But why is it so hard for people to concept? When its written in black and white. We need to learn to forgive it not only helps you and that person but it also make God happy. Jesus also says in Matthew 18:21-22 " Lord how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins aganist me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered "I tell you not seven times but seventy seven times". Jesus is telling us to forgive the person who has offended us or that has crossed us as many times as it takes up to seventy seven times. I know forgiveness is a hard thing to do but its something we have to do. So if we just pray daily and look to God we will be able to forgive the person that's crossed us.
* "If we confess our sins,he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness". 1 John 1:9
