The Power of Forgiveness

The power of forgiveness…


We have all experienced this. Fueled by anger, resentment, and or thoughts of revenge, our emotions produce words and actions that we would never allow if we were not caught up in the bad emotions of the moment. 

Sadly, some folks stay this way for years and it poisons all of the relationships around them. 


It’s OK to be upset when people, places, and things harm or hurt us, but it’s not ok to continue to replay that moment or event and let it influence the rest of our day, week, or year. 


The good news is that we can start our day over anytime we want. 


God makes this possible with His Spirit of forgiveness that lives inside each of us. 


While some wrongs can never be righted, we do not have to allow them to hold power over the rest of our lives. 


Are you holding any lingering resentments or allowing anger to influence your actions or relationships?… 


Check your experience… 


“It is plain that a life which includes deep resentment leads only to futility and unhappiness.” Big Book pg. 66 


Lord, let us give our hurts and anger to You in return for the peace and serenity that comes from forgiveness, AMEN. 


“Instead, be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32 


Have a blessed day Y’all!
