Go Forward and Forgive

When talking with a friend a while back the subject of forgiveness came up…how do we forgive and move on. We talked about how important it is to be God-like…to move forward and walk in grace. Many times this is a challenge…we are human after all, yet when studying the Bible and being in relationships with people who love God and who diligently walk the Christian walk makes our challenges much easier. God encourages us to be positive and to let the past bury itself. What a blessing to know our Lord lifts us up and inspire us to be a loving and forgiving person. Our eyes are in the front of our head to see clearly the direction we are headed. Let’s not walk backwards as God wants us always going forward…to Him. To forgive anyone the hurts and pains that were caused is a way of thanking God for all that we have in our lives…being grateful for new opportunities, new challenges and new experiences. Philippians 3: 14 …but one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Give thanks for God’s love and the strength, wisdom and grace we receive while walking with Jesus. Smiles & Blessings, Cynthia Collins Kaitfors
