The most powerful gift you can give someone is the gift of forgiveness. The story of Jesus is just that. God's gift came to spread truth, mercy, and redemption. On a personal note. I have battled with forgiveness because at times its hard. Sometimes your life is a constant reminder what has happened to you. Yet, in the midst of it. You have to forgive them. One thing I have learned, its not for them but for you. Releasing people from things they cant atone for anyway is true forgiveness. Sometimes you gotta know that people cant make up what they have done to you. They maybe clueless. They may not have any idea that you still cry or you still are in pain. It doesn't matter. God did it, so I have to and that settles it. Besides, the power of release is a ministry all in itself. So this Christmas season, find it in your heart to forgive someone. We all have family, friends, and enemies that need forgiving. They dont have to even know, but if you tell them, then well, you just added to the blessing. Forgive is godliness. Its a gift that you can give to someone or yourself. Christ believed you deserved it, why not someone else?

hit the nail on the head with that one!and stepped on my toes!
i entered the moment expecting the best and thought the worst for i was unwilling to let you handle the situation ... over time I realized your love is true and enduring but i still continue to remain despite my unconscious insistence to let go and let you take total control ... and yet i remain yours always ... you are gracious and kind thank you for my existence.
WORDERFUL WORDS AND SO TRUE....LORD TEACH ME TO LET GO...TO FORGIVE!!
