Watch yours. Forgive. What does it really mean to ask someone to forgive you? We ask for forgiveness when we feel we have done someone wrong. We oftentimes say, I forgive you. But do we really mean it? When we forgive we release or let it go.

Think of it this way. When we forgive someone we are releasing past failures, past hurts, and past disappointments. When we hold on to unforgiveness it is like a weight that is holding us down or holding us back. We have to forgive so we can release or let go of that weight, that burden, and that guilt. The Bible said in Ephesians 4 and 32, we are to be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you. If we are not willing to forgive others, how can we expect God to forgive us? If we are made in God's image then we should forgive as God forgives. God is a forgiving God and because of Jesus we must allow God's forgiving nature to be a part of our lives. Let us forgive as God forgives. Having a kind heart and showing compassion to everyone. Be a bigger person. If you know you have done wrong to someone, ask for their forgiveness.

It's the Christian thing to do. Be blessed. For more hope, healing, and help, read The Broken Steps by Anita Deen Arnett. Available on Amazon.com. The Amazing Story of the Boss Lady of Gospel Music, Anita Deen Arnett.
