Forgive always.

 Matthew  6:14  For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:   

Matthew  6:15  But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.


 Forgiveness is an aspect of the life of every man. Everyone at every point in time would have to forgive someone or be forgiven by someone. However, as easy as it sounds, most people find it hard to come to terms with this. What really is Forgiveness? Forgiveness is "letting someone off a matter" where you were wronged. It really isn't about the person pacifying you, but you "letting the person go" as though the person never offended you in the first place.

 There are times people do hurtful and despicable things towards us, and they don't even recognize their wrongs towards us talk less of apologizing, and then this stirs up a well of hatred towards such people. Sometimes, these people recognize these wrongs and for one reason or the other do not just feel any need to apologize, then we get bitter and resentful towards such people, and then we just don't feel like setting our eyes on such folks, but for how long will this go on? Forgiveness often times is about you and not the person who offended you. When you hold on to wrongs suffered, you over time begin to have palpitations of the heart which leads to HBP(High Blood Pressure) and other heart related illnesses. Our scriptural text above talks about forgiving others because God has forgiven us, how true this is! One thing you must consciously make up your mind to is the choice and decision to always forgive people even before they apologize, it's a secret I've held on to for many years. I tell myself, "No, I'm not going to hold anyone in, I forgive him/her", the peace that comes after such statement is unfathomable. God has forgiven the whole world through Christ, and if God is our Father, we also must be like-minded as our Father. God is big enough to forgive the whole world. I am big enough to forgive all offences suffered. Forgive all offences suffered. Happy Boxing Day! Do have a great day ahead.

Priority information

  Proverbs  16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Most people tell others about their plans first even before they remember to tell God". It's so true, I've found out most times people have opinions, but God never has an opinion, God has direction. People have opinions, God has direction. While speaking with a friend yesterday, she recalled how some people had tried to talk her down/out from doing something, and I felt well, people always have opinions, and like David Ologbonori, a life-coach posited, " Opinions are cheap, they are everywhere, and they can be wrong". While I thought about the fact that sometimes people tell others about their plans before God, I thought to myself "why should a man inform others about what he wants to do even before the waymaker Himself?"😏. This doesn't mean you can't talk to "destiny-helpers", or " dreams investors ", but it has to do with who you give p...
