TODAY IS A NEW BEGINNING

I know somedays it feels like we don't want to get out of bed. But just think what we might miss if we decide to cover our heads and not see what God has in store for us. Just when it feels like things can't get better, the hand of God reaches out to us in a most unexpected way. He touches our hearts through others around us. He sends His love by way of gestures, words or the touch of someone near us. Not always the way we invision it, but God's timing is perfect.

Cleansing of the Heart

I am consumed lately about why it is difficult to forgive those that we love the most. I have been hung up about what I need from the other person in order to forgive them. Once again I am reminded that my forgiving someone is not dependent upon their behavior or their actions. I am still struggeling with my heart about giving this burden to God. For the last year I have wished that this someone special in my life would come to me and apologize and tell me that he was sorry for his behavior. That may never happen. I need to forgive him even if he never comes to apologize to me about this issue. In order to be free and ready to move forward I need to be able to let go. Forgive as God has forgiven me. Letting go does not mean your going to forget the hurt. The hurt may even resurface later because of something else you experience. As I was reading in the book of Matthew God's clear on this matter. To be spiritually healthy we need to forgive those who hurt us.
