So I am doing this bible study on forgiveness. I do not attend church regularly which is something I am not proud of. But I am doing this study to help deal with some past issues that has caused anger and bitterness in my heart and this is what i never really actually realized or ever thought about and just wanted to share.....lol...its like a lightbulb just came on and if putting myself out there by posting this helps anyone else to forgive so that they can live a better life and be closer to God then I will....and if you dont want to read about God then just dont read this post. And I would appreciate no negative feedback as I am not trying to push religion or God on anyone...I just feel the need to share because I myself,,,have not been close or had a relationship with him until recently...and its quite awesome to begin to know him and understand him.... If we are to forgive others as God forgave us, we need to understand how he forgave us... It is shallow nonsense to say that God forgives us because he is love....the only ground on which God can forgive me is the Cross of my Lord..... What i am learning is just what God did for me in order to forgive me...And I honestly never really thought about it or truly understood just what took place until this bible study...He gave up his son...and not just gave him up....he was tortured...As a mother to understand that is ....wow.....God sacraficed his son so that I could be forgiven....me??? Because he loved me that much?? Really??!!! so who am I not to forgive those who have done me wrong...Thats like slapping God in the face...It seems so simple but i never realized that not forgiving someone is a sin bc if I dont....God wont forgive me...not to mention how much not forgiving affects your life and who you are.. So I guess what I am saying to anyone who lives feeling bitter and angry towards someone. Understand its not for you to bare that burden or pain... And the feeling you have when you finally do forgive that person...is such a relief and ...just changes who you are... I am reading a book Called Choosing forgiveness....And seriously.. its a great book. It puts things in a completely different perspective. I am done preaching I promise. I just wanted to share! :)
