forgive!

hey y'all!
so yesterday was bleh. b-day. i dislike thursdays alot. haha.
well anyway
i did my devotion on forgiving everybody! Matthew 6:14-15 says, "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." sometimes its difficult to forgive & forget things, but its not impossible. wouldnt life be much simpler if you could forgive everyone? you wouldnt have to worry about what happened and you could just forget it. you can say you forgive someone, and not mean it. forgivness requires time, perserverance, and most of all, prayer. people do bad things. and its not in human nature to want to forgive them for it, but if you have Jesus Christ in your heart & you sincerely pray to God about it, you can forgive anybody for anything they've done. because that is what Jesus would do. if theres even one person you havent forgiven you need to forgive them. grudges and bitterness only put up a wall between you & God. regret and grudges arent part of Gods plan for your life. Forgiveness, however, is. look at the example Jesus set. he forgave us of our sins and died for us just so that we can spend eternity with him in heaven. remember...Jesus forgave you...so you need to forgive others!
i love y'all!
God Bless!
