Forgiveness : A Gift to Yourself

 Hey Kings &Queens!!!!


We can all agree that at some point of our lives we have been wronged, mistreated or lied to.  One of the downfalls of life is that we can’t control how others treat us. As a result of being hurt, we hold grudges, distance, and cut off the ones who wronged us. But Kings and Queens how does holding grudges benefit us?  I am pretty sure the person or people you are mad at are sleeping like a baby at night, unbothered or unaware about how them hurting you has affected you.  Holding grudges/ anger is like drinking poison and excepting the other person to die. –Buddha
It is important Kings and Queens that we forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness, but because we deserve peace. Being angry at someone hurts only you. Let go of your anger, not for the other person, but for yourself. Remember, forgiving doesn't mean forgetting. Forgiving means accepting that it happened. Even though the act of forgiving may not come easy to us, as Christians and children of God we must be obedient to our father and forgive others as he has always forgiven us. (Colossians 3:13) It is ok to feel anger and want justice for the person we need to forgive. That is why we have this wonderful thing called Prayer!!!!!  Kings and Queens pray for the person you need to forgive. Ask God to deal with the injustices and for God to judge the person's life.  Then leave that prayer at the altar. No longer carry the anger!!!! Although it is normal for us to feel anger toward sin and injustice, it is not our job to judge the other person in their sin. Luke 6:37: Do not judge and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. (NIV)

Kings &Queens always remember Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong! Release yourself from anger and hurt and find JOY J
