The act of Forgiveness

 Forgiveness needs to be exercised and managed. It doesn’t mean forgiving in advance for the next twenty years. That’s impossible. Rather, managing forgiveness means waking up and saying, “Just for today I choose forgiveness & tomorrow I do the same thing. “ I’ve noticed that when other people mess up, we call on God’s justice, but when we mess up, we’re a big fan of His mercy. We judge ourselves by our intentions and other people by their actions. Our standard should be uniform all the way around.

We must also remember that vengeance is the Lord's and he will repay against anyone who has done you wrong(Deuteronomy 32:35). Forgiveness is choosing to let go of an obligation someone else owes you. We must also remember what  Matthew 6:14-15 says-
 
“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
 
God also wants us to wake up every day and trust Him for that day. Tomorrow you do the same thing. The day after do the same thing. His mercies are new every morning. The Bible says that today is the day of salvation (2 Cor. 6:2), meaning we should live in the now. Jesus said each day has enough trouble of its own, so don’t worry about tomorrow (Matt. 6:34). It’s a process of learning to lean on God, a mental pattern and a lifestyle we must develop.

Have a blessed & prosperous Week~!
