Forgiveness

The last few months the Lord has been teaching me a LOT about forgiveness! My desire is to see ALL women (and men) walk in freedom in their lives. Choosing forgiveness opens many doors to freedom in our lives. It has been in my life! When we choose to forgive, even if the other person doesn't forgive us, it still opens the door to freedom in our life. God WANTS us to let go of all bitterness, anger, resentment, jealousy and more in our lives. When I started to apply this in my life every day, I became very humble. How can I expect others to forgive me, if my attitude towards them is that of unforgiveness. Or a "I forgive you, but I'm still going to be mad at you." Forgiveness isn't about forgetting. It's about forgiving and taking the next step to heal the hurt, that either you caused another person, or that a person caused you. When I've done something wrong, big or small, the freedom that I feel when the person has accepted my apology is HUGE! There is no burden attached to it. FREEDOM. It is a vital part of having a relationship with the Lord. Be in bondage to NOTHING. It is a process though! You have to come to a place in your life where you crave God's presence in your life. A place of having a teachable and humble heart. That doesn't mean that things will be easy, it does mean that you will find ultimate comfort in the Lord knowing you are walking the straight and narrow path!

1 Peter 4:8 "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins."
John 8:1-11 is another great promise of freedom in our lives! When we sin, HE will forgive us when we repent before Him.
