Good Morning!! Some hurts and humiliations are just a part of life, and don't require any real effort to forgive. A friend failed to send you a card when you were hospitalized. A co-worker has idiosyncrasies that annoy you. Your neighbor’s dog answers the call of nature in your yard. To make every minor irritation an occasion for forgiveness, just trivializes real issues.
If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him.".—Luke 17:4 (NIV)
But some wounds are deep and painful,.. and are anything but trivial,..now this take both strength and faith to forgive. Think of forgivness as a long, winding road,...and just wanting to forgive, put us on the road, We haven’t yet reached our destination, but we’re on the road. Resentment, and anger may come creeping into your souls from time to time, causing us to wander off it,...but don’t give up,...Just get back on the road.
We may think; it’s hard enough to forgive someone even once,...but seven times? But God has forgiven us so many more times than taht,...just because we asked.
Sweet Spirit of God to help us to pray for our enemy, as we pray for our family and friends. As we confessing our own sins, knowing that God forgives us, allow us to more and more be able to forgive those who have hurt us.
"Our biggest challenge to maintaining commitment,...is keeping focused on God's work ."
