I’m sure everyone been wronged at one time or another. Because of this,
we all have a decision to make. We can either let that wrong affect us the rest
of our lives and cause us to sit down and wallow in pity. Or we can get up,
wipe ourselves off, forgive and keep going.
“Be gentle and ready to forgive; never hold grudges. Remember, the Lord
forgave you, so you must forgive others” (Colossians 3:13, TLB).
That’s the choice we have to make, and it is never too late to make the
right choice!
You cannot expect any change or real growth in your life until you
forgive and let go. Give it all to God. Do not pick up that load of anger,
resentment, hurt, shame, guilt or whatever it may be that you have been
struggling with.
It’s not easy to forgive when you have been treated badly or abused in
some way, but it is necessary. We have no choice if we want our Heavenly Father
to forgive us of our wrongdoings.
You do not have to suffer the rest of your life for past mistakes or for
other’s past mistakes. Your past does not have to be your future. God is a
restorer and He will restore all that you have lost if you will seek Him and
believe His Word.
Confession: I choose to forgive. I choose to let go of that
person or that situation completely. I forgive by faith and by an act of my
will and refuse to be influenced by my feelings. I am free.
