Greetings to You on our Lords day. I want to start out by saying there is Power in Forgiving, let us look in depth of the word power, (possession of control, authority, or influence over others) We should always be in control of the situation. There should never be a time where we hold a grudge to the point of not forgiving. I understand that people do things intentional to set us off, but as long as we hold unforgiveness in our heart they have power over us. Matthew 18:21-22 reads: Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. in verse 21 the word sin in the greek means to (offend, err or be mistaken) the synonym for forgiving is- exempt (do not hold accountable) synonym for forgetting is- block or blank out. Definition of forgiving is- dismiss from the mind, stop remembering. In other words when we have been done wrong we have to learn how to dismiss it and block it out of our mind, I know you are probably saying that's easier said than done, but we must work really hard on ourselves and not allow people to frustrate us to the point where we lose our focus on the main goal which is Heaven. In closing I would like to say I know we use the line I will forgive but I won't forget, let us be better than our enemies and show them that we are the bigger person by Forgiving and Forgetting.
Be Blessed:
Servant AJ
