Forgive and Live

"Good sense makes one slow to anger,  and it is his(her) glory to overlook an offense."
Proverbs 19:11

Right now, while you're reading this post, it's time. God is calling you to say "yes" to Him.
Jesus says, "Forgive. As I've forgiven you, you also must forgive."
If that's what you're hearing from Him, do it now. It's time. Right now, while you're even giving it a thought, forgive.

"But I can't!" you say. I know. That's a given. Forgiveness is miraculous; God needs to do it in you. Ask God to change your heart so that you can forgive. If you don't feel like it, admit that. You don't have to feel like it, you just need to be willingYou can choose to forgive...even if you don't feel like it.

Do you know why God wants you to forgive? Because He knows how you're made. He knows what gives you peace and joy and life. Today is the day to forgive. Don't wait. Do it now. For heaven's sake, forgive! For your sake, forgive... and live.
