Letting Things Go

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”Philippians 3:13-14

Have you been hurt by a friend, family member, neighbor, co worker? If honest all can answer yes to that question. To dwell on the hurts or injustices only digs you into a deeper hole. 

In order to have a joyful spirit led life it is necessary to let go of hurts and offenses and not dwell on them like some sort of trophy. You can’t move forward towing weights and sorrows with you. 

Decide to forgive people even if they don’t ever seek forgiveness. Try to treat people like Jesus would. 

PRAYER: Lord help me to love others even when I don’t feel like it. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
