Are you bitter? I know I can be, we all can be at times. Sometimes I get stuck in a rut with a spirit of unforgiveness. I can be so upset with someone the thought of praying for them makes me laugh. There are times I like to hold on to my anger, resentment, and bitterness towards another person who hurt me. But in the end, I end up up hurting myself, placing myself into a "Self Imposed Prison."
Here is a great excerpt from Jumping Jeff Clay's blog,"Listen, “forgiveness is not about feelings, it is about faith”! Faith in God and His Holy Word! It is trusting that our Creator knows how to heal His creation. Trust Him in this by speaking forgiveness towards that person and you will be set free. The Bible promises, “to whom the Son sets free, is free indeed.” Experience God’s promise of “peace and release” from that Self Imposed Prison by taking this “leap of faith!”---- This couldn't be more true.

So powerful and amazing His Love is for us, when we are obedient and follow Him by Faith!!!!
So true, so true.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I just read your other post. That is hilarious, but I think my brother was pretty funny as well. The boy has a sense of humor, too bad he married a baby lizard killer. JK
