Forgiveness is something people
crave. I don’t know about you, but if I’ve hurt someone, it eats away at me
until I go and ask forgiveness. I guess I can’t stand for people to be upset
with me. You see, I don’t always think before I speak. It’s been a lifelong
struggle, although I’m learning…very, very slowly. I think that’s why I enjoy
writing so much. I can always go back and scribble things out that I wrote that
shouldn’t be written. Unfortunately, I can’t do that with words that come out
of my mouth.
What about those people that
repeatedly hurt you? In Matthew 18:22 the Bible tells us to forgive people more
than we may care to.
A lack of forgiveness in this
world is one of the reasons I wrote Come
Eat at My Table. People need to take the initiative and ask for forgiveness
if they have done the hurting. On the other side, people who have been hurt,
need to forgive, even if the one who did the hurting didn’t apologize. Holding
in that anger hurts you more than it does them. This doesn’t mean you have to
trust them with your life or anything , you do have to be sensible when dealing
with people like that.
Just don’t become a bitter, old
person, harboring ill feelings until it shows on your face. I’m sure you know
that type of people I’m talking about.
My song for the week talks about
forgiveness. Give it a listen and prayerfully consider if you need to forgive
or ask someone’s forgiveness.
