Forgiving

Foregiveness. One of the hardest things to do in a culture who teaches to blame others, hold a grudge, get revenge...

Yet it is necessary for the cleansing of our soul and allow us to move past the hurt to whatever good thing God has in store for us.

It isn't an easy process. Yet we can't allow the hurt and pain to fester. We certainly can't allow it to leave a destructive scar from which we never recover. Such things cloud our mind and affect the way we view the world, and most importantly, other people.

Yes, we are wronged. Forgiving the other person is NOT saying, what they did was right. It is releasing our pain and hurt and moving on with our lives.

So, whatever pain, hurt or bad thing has happened, know that is is possible to forgive, heal and move on with God's plan for your life. It won't be easy. It won't happen overnight. In the end, it will be the best thing you can do for yourself.

Remember, God forgives your sins and then forgets them after you tell him you're sorry.

We can do no less for others who do the same to us. 

God's Plans

God sometimes tell us things or maybe I should say reveals part of His plan for our lives when we least expect it. Who would have thought that one of the biggest events of my future life, which I still don't have permission to share, would come during a meeting with my local writing group?

While I'm excited, I'm also scared. Why? Because I personally don't think I'm ready.

However, the Lord of the Heavens must think differently.

What a wonderful adventure it is going to be!
