Forgiveness

Yep. That is exactly what the Lord has brought back into my heart.
Forgiveness. It's such a deep word. And something that is so hard to do.
I honestly think forgiveness is something that no human being can ever master.
Not only are the words,  I forgive you  hard to say to someone, its more than just a saying.
If you just throw it around like a stinky sock it doesn't mean anything. Because really, in all honesty, do we really forgive them? Or are we just saying it to make them feel better and so we can just continue on?
A lovely wise red-headed women taught me that forgiveness isn't something you can take lightly. its some serious stuff. and its a choice you choose to make. Just like Jesus chose to forgive us. He really didn't have to.  I mean really come on, us filthy human beings who on a regular basis spit in His face by continually living in sin, when in fact He made us for His own pleasure. It's because of His unconditional love for us that gave Him the desire to forgive us. And that is exactly how we should be.

Colossians 3:13 - " Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."

1 Corinthians 16:14 - " Do everything in Love."

Ephesians 5: 1-2 - " Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."
