Forgive Others as God FORGIVES YOU

Everyday Offense Taken

​We can say we trust in God to avenge us but as soon as we take matters into our own hands and try to avenge ourselves or someone, we love we obviously aren’t putting a lot of faith in the power of who and what God says. I think a big challenge, for many of us, is not to pick up the offense of a friend or family member who’s been hurt.  I’m guilty there. But when we take on someone else’s offense we’re sucking the poison of their garbage sin and we become bitter along with them.  

I’ve seen this happen when a parent’s anger towards someone passes on to their children.  Remember if only one side of the story is presented you don’t have the whole truth and may have a cocktail of lies.  It’s the enemy’s plan to ruin relationships.  God’s plan is to restore. Follow Deuteronomy 30:19 which tells us to make the choices which bring life so that we and our descendants may live meaningful lives…everyday.
