He Forgives

God is so forgiving , He will forgive our sins if we confess it to Him . For us as humans it is hard to forgive . I know that it is so hard when someone really hurts you to forgive them , I am still working on that . When one of my brothers really hurts my feelings or I am angry at Him it feels impossible to forgive Him . I was reading the bible and came across the story of when people brought a woman to Jesus she had been found committing adultery . (I think it is amazing how He handles this) Jesus said:
"If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at
her."At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones
first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus
asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?""No one, sir," she
said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus
declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin." John 8:7-11

Is that great or what?! He does not stone Her, even though He had never sinned He forgives Her & then tells her to leave her sinful life & start new......free from sin and all the bondage that comes with it.I think that is what Jesus would have us do too

You've got the idea precious girly girl. Never forget that it is hard for us in our human-ness to forgive and that is why we are so blessed to have a Savior Jesus Christ. All the other religions and theories of humans have some really excellent concepts and ideas and practices but the thing none of them have is "The One and Only Thing" we really need. Jesus paid the price for our sin with His saving blood because all sin no matter how small or great ends with death (seperation from God) God is HOLY and darkness cannot exist in the LIGHT. But when our Lord Christ paid that price for us once for all than our Faith in Him (the Way, the Truth and the Life) pays our dept in full. Wow, God is Good!

So Live in the Spirit and He will make it so much easier to forgive and get on with His purpose for your Life. And He has big plans for yu to carry out girl. So you go God girl! Momma loves you very much!

Peace and blessings I pray to you in Jesus' Holy and Mighty name:

Mom

True So true Elisha. Last Sunday someone said a comment to me which was NOT meant as an accusation or a nag or anything but I took it personaly and felt that he was "trying" to hurt me. As you wrote "I found it hard to forgive" because in the past (before I was saved) I was bullied and made fun of, and came to think that every time someone asked me to not do something that they I was a terrible person and didn't deserve to live.
I thank God that He has helped me through this and pray that He continues to help me in my life

GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU
