I never r e a l l y thought about it... if I don't forgive, I am not forgiven by God.
This made me recognize a deep wound I had from someone who I thought I had forgiven, but came to the realization that I had not. After praying and crying out to God about all the things this person had done to hurt me, all the words that pierced me so deeply I came to these terms "Love keeps N O records of wrongs"
1 Corinthians 13:5....
I asked God to fill my wound with these words, and even though some days I feel like I have not forgiven this person, I am reminded that forgiveness is not a f e e l i n g... but a c h o i c e.
There is SO much freedom in forgiveness, a burden has been lifted and I am
p e a c e f u l.
This is only a taste of what I experienced that weekend <3>
Great post Sarah. I am starting to realize what a bitter person Im becoming slowly, and its really not good. I need to start revaluating my thoughts and decisons and my judgments. Maybe these quotes albeit Im not religious, can help me in a profounding way.
