God Made Moms To Teach Their Children...Forgiveness Equals Freedom
I've learned that my children can hold grudges just like I can hold grudges, a trait I rather not pass on to them. Unforgiveness is so heavy to carry and so unnecessary. So I have decided to encourage them to forgive on a continuous basis so that they are able to enjoy the freedoms of living, loving, and laughing. Love and laughter can help them live a long andprosperous life, something I pray and want for them. Why not make the things they do carry a lot lighter by teaching them that forgiving/forgiveness offers a life of FREEDOM.
Be blessed and encouraged today, it's a choice. ~Delphine
Proverbs 17:9 He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats or harps on a matter separates even close friends.
Matthew 18: 21, 22 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
Colossians 3: 13 - 14 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
