Forgiveness

Hi, my name is Khyrstyn and Katherine is one of my very dear friends. When she asked me to do this I was very excited, so here it goes!!!

Forgiveness. A word we hear all the time, but everyone struggles with. We cannot forgive anyone in our own power. Only God can enable us to forgive someone.

We are called to forgive and when we truly forgive someone, we do not hold a grudge. Something most people don't commonly associate are forgiveness and love. In 1Corinthians 13 it says that love keeps no records of wrongs. This Is true forgiveness.

Pray for those whom you need to forgive and also for yourself to be able to forgive them. As I said before, we cannot forgive someone in our own strength, we have to ask God for help.

Also pray for God to forgive you. The Bible says, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Since everyone sins, everyone needs forgiveness, so ask God to forgive you off everything you have done against Him.

"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ forgave you."
Ephesians 4:32

"When you were dead in your sins in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins."
Colossians 2:13

"Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."
Colossians 3:13
