That is a great scripture and yes I completely agree with it. It seems the practice of it, when with the family (outer family, not my two girls), it seems that past hurts or actions often come up in conversation. It is something that actually seems to be a characteristic of a section of my family. I inquired to Cherie if I am like that and she gave me feedback that I can only credit Jesus with, and that is that I am not like that with her or our daughter.

So, I am extremely thankful for the forgiveness of Christ because I know what I have been saved from. I think I am just letting a conversation I had recently with a family member I love get to me where this very thing happened. Some people just don’t want to let go of the past and look to the good He has awaiting us. Pastor’s sermon about sowing discord really hit home within that conversation. Glory to God, I was able to just let it be and not add to the fire. Another sign to me of who is living in me.

Praise God in all

Do you agree?

1. 1 Peter 5 has some a message that tangents along this as well. Some quick points from that:
A. Clothe yourselves with humility
B. God opposes the proud
C. God gives grace to the humble
D. Cast ALL anxiety on to Him
E. He cares
F. Be self-controlled and alert
G. The enemy prowls
H. Resist, you are not alone in your sufferings and trials
I. He alone will restore us!!

2. from life, it seems to me sometimes that the forgive like Christ forgives can be one of the hardest things for us to do. Having family coming into town, I have been reminded of how much we can bring up each other’s past actions that may have hurt each other. We have “stated” that we have forgiven, but I don’t think we truly forgive like Christ forgives. He wipes the slate clean and does not bring up that to which we have repented of. I pray that I can have that type of forgiveness for my past by my loved ones and that I can also have the humility to extend that same forgiveness.

Great post Kevin.
