Everywhere I turned today, I ran into new tidbits about “Forgiveness”. I don’t believe in coincidence, because I believe in the verse Romans 8:28 which reads . . . And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. NIV
So . . . it seems He is trying to bring home to me a truth that needs to be reexamined!
Forgiveness is an act of love and obedience
It isn’t dependent on who the person is, what the person has done or how many times they have done it.
In fact it really has nothing to do with the person who hurt you.
It is all about you and your relationship with God.
I’m so thankful that He loves me enough to command me to do this. Because at the end of the day I know I can say, “God of second chances and new beginnings … here I am again, Please forgive me…
Daniel 9:18
We make this plea, not because we deserve help, but because of your mercy.

Great reminders of what forgiveness is, where it comes from and how to get it! Thanks.

I know I needed that reminder. Sometimes thoughts get away from us, and we need to rope them, tie them up, as we are giving the whole situation to the Lord, instead of trying to DO something about it! Blessings!

I knew you’d reply. LOL You’re such an encouragement! I’ve been away from our site for awhile, but hopefully, and prayerfully, will be back more often. It’s such a blessing to see people are affected by what we post, huh? Blessings to you!

Well, sometimes they are and sometimes they aren’t, I guess–the forgiveness thing is sticking in my throat or craw, or somewhere today–but that doesn’t mean I’m not grateful to read your gracious message! God bless you BIG–
