Continue Forgiveness!

One thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.
Philippians 3:13,
Continual Forgiveness
We all have opportunities to get upset and be offended. A coworker is rude, someone cuts you off in traffic, or a friend leaves you out. It’s easy to get sour, try to pay people back, or hold a grudge. We don’t realize that’s poisoning our life. That offense is like a toxin. It’s not affecting the other person; it’s souring our joy, taking our peace. The apostle Paul had all kinds of opportunities to live offended. Religious leaders lied about him, some coworkers walked away, others turned against him. But Paul had a system of release. He said, “One thing I’m good at is letting things go, not taking the offense, not dwelling on what happened yesterday. I put all my energies into reaching to what’s up ahead.”

You can’t stop offenses from happening, but you have to continually release the hurts rather than dwell on what someone said or did. If you hold on to that offense, it’s going to keep you living in yesterday and keep you from reaching forward. Forgiveness and letting go should be a continual thing.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for the freedom that comes as I let go of the offenses and negative baggage from the past. Thank You that I can treat those

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...

The Best Anxiety Preventive!

  The Best Anxiety Preventive Memorize and Meditate “ Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. ” (James 1:21) Soak your Heart For the Word of God to work in our heart, we need to make sure we have a clean heart, free from the control of sin. This is why we confess and repent of our sin to restore a working relationship with God. One of the best protections against sin gaining control is to humbly accept and plant the Word in our heart. God’s Word can save us from fear, anxiety, and a host of other maladies seek to control us. The Psalmist said he hid God’s Word in his heart so he would not sin against God. We want to soak our heart in the Word. Sow to the Spirit As I meditate on these concepts, I want to sow them to the Spirit by praying them into my heart and soul. I ask God to implant his Word deeply within my inner being. His Word is food for my spirit and soul. More times than I can re...
