Forgive, to receive!

Have you ever done something wrong to someone and regretted it. Or have you ever been on the receiving end of someone's wrong doing. Of course, we all have.

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:13

This verse is so vital in maintaining great relationships. Forgiving one another to receive all the Father has for us. Don't hold wrong doing from someone in your heart. We drink the poison of it when holding on to the person, holding the him/her in the prison of retaliation and unforgiveness.

Living in peace is my most priced possession next to His love. No turmoil in my heart and soul. Jesus promised that He would leave His peace with us, at the time of His departure, to be with the Father. He promised that no one could take this from us. So let's not give it up by not forgiving.

If you find yourself not experiencing this peace I described, ask God for the reason why not. Ask Him to reveal the blockage.

What is hindering you from living a full life, God promises to us?

Father, my prayer today: Grant us the grace to forgive and live in peace to the fullest.

So long for today, may your day be filled with God's blessings and don't forget to leave your prayer request.
