Forgiveness

Such a terrible little concept, right?

Let's forgive, but not forget.

They'll reap what they sow, right?

Well, then what the heck is grace for???

What is the point of praising God, worshiping God, asking God to forgive us and love us. Yet we ourselves can't, no, won't forgive.

Won't we reap what we sow??

Here's the thing:

If our enemies will reap what they sow, why won't we?

Are we Jews among Gentiles? Cuz last time i checked i was Mexican!

That makes me a Gentile.

But doesn't Galatians 3:28 say:

"There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus"

Amen?

Being Christians we are forgiven. But that's because we accept the forgiveness right? We didn't earn this forgiveness, we were chosen to be forgiven! We have the choice to say yes God! I want to accept your gift of eternal life, mercy, and grace! You are my Lord and Savior! Ouch! Lord?! Savior?! Why do we need one of those.

WE ARE JUST FINE!

But are we just fine?

Is our life absolutely perfect?

Well no one's life is perfect, right?

But I sure don't need someone telling me I'm doing everything wrong, and I'm "sinning".

What's so hard about admitting that we're sinning??

Oh. Right. We actually have to admit and take ownership for our actions.

Right,

Because by taking the consequences is enough, right?

Well, when is that going to be enough?

"Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.".

'Nuff said.

My prayer after writing this:

Father, forgive me. I have fooled myself into thinking I have forgiven when in reality I continue to mock. Let me not be foolish and forgive as you continue to forgive me. I love you Lord. You are an amazing, glorious, Wonderful God. Amen.
