Saturday, May 29, Forgiveness

I am constantly amazed at God's forgiveness. It is a concept not easily grasped by my mind. It is easier to understand when I need to forgive someone. Over the past few years, I have had to focus on forgiveness of others. A hurt is hard to let go of. If I forgive and let go of the hurt, then I have given in to them and Satan tells me I have lost the battle and they have won. God tells me to let it go, Forgive unconditionally, and leave the results to Him. When I have let it go and worked on forgiveness, my mental state is so much better. My sins cannot be forgotten, but God has promised to not remember them against me. Hurts cannot be forgotten, but God can help me remember them less and less through His plan of forgiveness.
