Thoughts for the Day
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIFE LESSONS
Life lessons are hidden inside each and every moment of every day. You can become lost in the endless speculation, trying to find the hidden messages. As you grow to know and accept who and what you truly are, you are able to see the lessons that are meant specifically for you.
The voice inside of you becomes stronger to guide you to that knowing. At this point, you can see the rest as just things happening as things happen.

FORGIVENESS
God wants us to forgive. He wants to release us physically, emotionally,and spiritually from the pain we feel when we don't forgive. He wants His love and character to reflect in each of us, which it can't when we don't forgive. He wants us to experience the joy of life, not the agony of living without forgiveness. When we forgive ourselves and forgive others, it means more to God than any sacrifice.
True forgiveness takes time and involves forgetting. It needs to be realistic. Not always is the accused aware of what they have done wrong or are willing to be forgiven. The choice to forgive needs to be a desire to do the right thing, rather than doing it for a desired outcome.
True forgiveness is an act of grace empowered by God's supernatural love. It may result in a changed attitude towards others, wanting good for them.
God forgives us only as much as we forgive others. Living without forgiveness can be worse than even death. Love and respect yourself. Allow true forgiveness to take place in your life.
