If you forgive others for the wrongs they do to you,
your Father in heaven will forgive you. Matthew 6:14
_why do you hold so much anger and bitterness when you can let it out and feel ease? why do you carry such a heavy load and make it hard on you when you can be free from it and walk with joy? it is not fun walking around carrying such a heavy burden when you can walk and smile around with happiness and glow. why do you keep such? why can't you just forgive?
_forgiving is not forgetting, nor is forgetting is forgiving. yes, those two may come together but those two cannot be use as a substitute to the other. they are two different terms with different meanings of different usage, though maybe used together. forgiving is not forgetting what was done that hurt you. certainly, forgetting what was done to hurt you is not forgiving. forgiving is being reconciled after the heartache. forgetting is leaving behind what was done. maybe thin, but a line defines a border to those two.
_it is not easy to be hurt. it is not easy to cry and regret that you trusted. it is never easy to be disappointed. it is not easy to be rejected. these stuffs cut deep and bleeds not blood but fiery tears of anger, hate and bitterness, slithering with vengeance. it is not easy to accept things that hurt you. it is not easy to feel okay and be alright after being broken. BUT you must make it easy! i know that's hard, really hard.
_we are told to forgive that we may receive forgiveness from above. God will not forgive us, if don't forgive others. if our sins remain unforgiven, it is too impossible for God to bless us. we all need forgiveness DAILY. maybe the first reason why we should forgive others IMMEDIATELY. forgiving is breathing out anger, letting bitterness and hate out of your heart. trusting into God's hands what has happened. giving Him the right to do vengeance at His own way, in His own time.
_forgive. learn. forget. |
