Good Morning,
My Thermos is filled with Door County Smore's Coffee and it is time to write.
My prayers are for all of you to be blessed today as only God can bless you. He knows your wants, needs and desires.
In a life time many people will experience dark times, when your faith is tested and stretched beyond what you believe you can bear. You wonder how any good can come from the situation you are in. Only God can take what is bad and use it for good.
Forgiving is one of those times when releasing a grudge or even righteous anger can bring about change in others and growth in ourselves.
Forgiveness can seem like a daunting task, especially when we have been hurt, Yet as we look within the Bible we see God using bad things for good. We see that forgiveness is a divine invitation for healing. When we choose to forgive, we release the heavy burdens of anger, and resentment. This allows God to work in our hearts. Forgiveness can open the pathways for restoration, growth, peace, and harmony in our lives and the lives of others. Forgiveness is all a part of God's plan for us, to turn bad situations into something good.
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose.
So if you are in a rough spot and hope is hard to find, before you go to others for a solution or rely on your own weak mind, always seek God's help, especially when you decide to forgive someone. Ask for strength and wisdom. But never count out forgiving.
Food for thought. ????
Marty
