「 Greatly Blessed, Highly Favoured, Deeply Loved 5:45 AM 」
Forgiveness
This post is dedicated to someone whom the Lord has instructed me to post. Not that I want to do this. But He sent too many signs to urge me to post. First is the sermons I listen. Almost all the sermons I listen after that day, all mentioned about unforgiveness. If this is not enough, even the book I read also talked about that. THerefore, here it goes. A person who only know how to forgive and love someone by the extent of the understanding of how God loves and forgives us. If one protray God as one who is unforgiving and hard who wants to take revenge on your sake, and not wanting you to forgive the person, then there will never be a blessing set upon the one.
He wants to bless you with things you want. But if you refuse to let go and let God, He cannot do that. Not that He does not want, but He cannot. Letting go unforgiveness is letting God take over the situation to bless you. By not doing so, you are only holding God back.
Mutuality is the heart of fellowship, building reciprocal relationships, sharing responsibilites, and helping each other. As what Paul said," I want us to help each other with the faith we have. Your faith will hellp me, and my faith will help you".
God warns,"Never hold grudges" because bitterness and resentment always destroy fellowship. The Bible says." You must make allowance for each other's faults and forgive the person who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others".
You can make a choice to use energy and emotions for retaliation or for resolution. You cannot do both. Forgiveness is letting go of the past and trust has to do with future behaviour.
Forgiveness must be immediate whether or not the person asks for it, but trust has to be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record. If someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive the person instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediately, and you are not expected to allow them to hurt you. They must prove that they have changed over time. The best place to restore trust is in an environment of encouragement and support.
This shall be the end of the message from God to you. Praise the Lord for His mercy and loving kindness.
