Forgivness

What is forgiveness in your own words?

I say forgiveness is, letting go and realizing you have the power to become who you want to be. Will you allow someone to have that much power over you? will you allow yourself to walk in such darkness, because you refused to forgive someone?

Unfortunately, that's usually what happens when you don't forgive, you become an example of what pain looks like, how it makes you feel , pretty much the makeup and design of an unforgiving life.

Never underestimate, the beauty of forgiving someone. It's beauty in a treasure box.

Life a live filled with less pain and more joy. Start by evaluating the cause and effect behind the issues. Focus more on outcome.

Forgive, so your outcome may be great!

Love

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

forgiveness

On the contrary: "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this you will heap burning coals on his head.

Romans 12:20

 Don't delay,  Forgive your enemy today.

Sounds like an state of  alarm.

Forgiveness

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here.

2 Corinthians 5:7

Every time,  I read this scripture it reminds me of my  imperfectness, but reliefs me of my unrighteousness. Once, I come to a place of surrender, allowing Christ Jesus to become Lord and Savior in my life, all things become new. I am no longer bonded by the enemy strongholds, I'm considered free. Free, to come to come to Christ just the way I am. Nonetheless, I  am washed with the blood of Jesus.

Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Love

But love your enemies do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. then your reward will be great and you will be children of the Most High, because he kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

Luke 6:35

I always felt like this was the hardest thing to do, love your enemies, really Jesus? that was the question. But, I realized Jesus had a reason and a cause behind thus statement. See, when you love your enemies, your actually walking out the love and teaching of Jesus Christ. this type of love separates the believers from the people that refuse to love someone that has harmed or hurt them, every time you seek to forgive someone that has harmed you the process gets easier and easier , the burden gets lighter and lighter. Give expecting nothing and your reward will be greater.

When you hate someone it's like a canker sore that will never heal.

Do unto others as you will have them do unto you.

Luke 6:31

I couldn't imagine the hurt and pain an individual experience based on the harmful treatment and words a person may say to them. We should never seem to harm anyone in our words or our character. As a believer,  we should never aim to harm others. Our words should be words of love and peace and hope

Love

Love must be sincere. hate what is evil, cling to what is good.

Roman 12:9


Love always triumph over evil. There is never a time in my life where evil took the place of Love. I have experienced many of heartbreaks and pain. People have wronged me, and I have learned to forgive as well as ask for forgiveness. It's totally fine to live in such defeat, its more wrong to never conquer the defeat. Seek to do good, and good will always follow you.

Mindful Thinking

Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things..

Philippians 4: 8

Paul elaborates, on how important it for God to perform his work in us, allowing us to perform and accomplish the work that's  has been laid out before us.  (2:13) for it is God who is at work in you, enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Be in unity with  God. As God transform us to do his good and pleasurable work, truly we have a part to play. That part is mindful thinking, and righteous actions. Not a religious way of thinking or acting. But a simple way to model our life . An example of great character and proper action is found in Philippians (4:8). We must think on the things of God and seek to do the things of God.

Your thoughts determine your action,  what are you thinking today. If you think on the good, your actions will become good. If you think on the bad ,  nevertheless the outcome will be bad. Renew your mind, and Christ will renew your soul.

Hope

The  thief comes only to steal, and to kill and destroy, I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

John 10:10

What has the enemy destroyed in your life.  Have you allowed the enemy to take your joy, or peace, what about your happiness? Have you given up on your  dreams due to stress or financial situations? Whatever you maybe going through at this time.  Your future is never destroyed, unless you have allowed it to be. You have to understand your life was bought with a prize medal. A medal that's implacable and full of hope and possibles that are beyond what you can imagine. I challange you to believe that . Believe that Christ came to destroy the acts and works of the enemy, so your no longer in bondage. You're set free to live free. Live your life in that hope.
