As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I noticed that a lot of people have been sending me messages about FORGIVENESS. I believe forgiveness needs to happen every day, at every moment. I made a list of people I know I need to forgive. It was really not that long, but doing it was a very painful exercise. I pray every day that I will release that pain and hurt so that I can truly live the GOSPEL.
Jesus says to forgive seventy times seven. Don’t wait to forgive people, because you may lose the opportunity to forgive or to be forgiven. Do not hold on to hurt and pain. Ask not only to be given the grace to forgive others but also the grace to forgive ourselves for holding on to pain.
So today, make a list of those people you need to forgive and ask for God’s grace. Don’t wait one more moment! Jesus never waited to forgive! God is waiting for us to follow the GOSPEL!
Have a blessed day!

Other than prayer …. is there something that can be done for family that has turned their back on us and will not forgive?
One sided texting is the only communication; never a response. I typically text a birthday wish, Merry Christmas, and a rare to occasional thinking of you type text.
Do I have any obligation to continue its been 7 years ….. ?
