This word is one I don't like sometimes. It seems hard and my stubborn self doesn't want to take action on what the word means. BUT I have to realize that I have life because of forgiveness. Jesus died so that I could be forgiven. I rarely think about this and how that forgiveness has impacted my life. I focus so much on my own struggles and why I don't feel like I am where I should be spiritually, so I forget the gloriousness of God's forgiveness. I often struggle most forgiving my husband and those that have hurt me. Some things are so silly and yet I allow them to ruin an entire day! I want to start a new path though. One where every day I wake up and realize how awesome God's forgiveness is!
God tells why we should forgive so simply and impactfully (is that a word??)
Matthew 6:14-15: "For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
I want to forgive so that I honor what Christ has done for me....once again, definitely still learning!
