Forgiveness

What is forgiveness and how do we forgive in a world that's so hard to righteously live. I've heard it said, if someone hurts you are gets out of line to keep in mind to forgive is Divine. But with all the twists and turns, all the stress and strife, is that what make it so hard to forgive in this life. We hurt each other for no reason at all and set ourselves up for a very big fall because the flesh is proud and can be very mean and in it's foolish pride it loves to be seen.

So why do we do the mean things that we do? It's because there are forces in this life that's working against me and you. So keep in mind to forgive is Divine. Like if someone says something and you know it's not true, and have people looking crazy at you, then you get mad and want to get them back, watch yourself because it will through you off track, and it will bring you down to there level and that's when you will start dealing with the Devil. So keep in mind to forgive is Divine.

Even if someone takes you some place and you find this person has more than one face, instead of lifting you up they put you down, now you are walking around wearing an ugly frown, in your mind you are thinking revenge, not knowing you are making yourself a prisoner to sin, don't let hate remain, forgive that person and you will break the chain. Instead of walking around hateful and full of grief, forgive that person and you will get Divine relief.

Now here is something you may need to know from long ago in the days foretold. There where two children who needed a place to live. So The Father said to you a paradise I give. The Father gave them there hearts desire, then the one came along who is truly a lier. He said this one thing The Father told you not to do, but didn't He give all of this to you. He told you that because once you eat of this tree, you will no longer be blind, you will be able to see.

So they gave into temptation and came under condemnation. The Father said, my children are lost, I have to get them back at all cost. Meanwhile the sly one though He had won, but instead of giving up, The Father sent His Son. Into a world of madness, kaos and fear, because to The Father His children are so dear. His Son came as a guiding light, but the people frowned and said what makes this man so right, this man is talking nonsense, He's here on a whim.

Then they all started to shout, lets crucify Him. They cursed Him, they beat Him, they treated Him as bad as can be, put a crown of thorns on His head and nailed Him, to a tree. Then He shouted it is finished and this I ask of you, is to forgive them Father, for they no not what they do. Now if He can forgive, then we can forgive too. So keep in mind to forgive is Divine.
