All bitterness, anger and wrath, insult and slander must be removed from you, along with all wickedness. And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgive one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.
EPHESIANA 4:31-32 HCSB
"It has been said that life is an exercise in forgiveness. And it should be added that forgiveness is an essential step in overcoming tough times."p50
"Do you invest more time than you should reliving the past? Are you troubled be feelings of anger, bitterness, envy, or regret? Do you harbour ill will against someone whom you simply can't seem to forgive? If so, it's time to finally get serious about forgiveness."p50
"Until you forgive, you are trapped in a prison of your own creation" p51
"To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you" - C S LEWIS p51
TODAY'S PRAYER
Heavenly Father, forgiveness is Your commandment, and I know that I should forgive others just as You have forgiven me. But, genuine forgiveness is difficult. Help me to forgive those who have injured me, and deliver me from the traps of anger and bitterness. Forgiveness is Your way, Lord; let it be mine. Amen
