Forgiven

The Good News Today Is.....our heavenly father forgives us. "If you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly father will also forgive you." (Matt 6:14) Forgiveness is a strange thing. We can (and should) forgive others even if we don't feel like forgiving them. Forgiveness is an act of will, not an emotion. Our forgiveness does not have to be accepted by the one we are forgiving to be effective. As soon as we forgive someone, we are blessed by the act. We are set free from the burden of holding a grudge. Holding a grudge is an emotion, and it's hard work to keep it going. Give forgiveness freely, so that you might receive forgiveness freely. Lighten your burden today.
