THE WRONGS DIRECTED TOWARD ME…
My “Match” —Take the High Road
As you wander in life
Let this be your goal
Keep your eye on the donut
And not on the hole.
Some do not forgive, instead they burn life's energy keeping the grudge burning
Here is a lesson to remember:
Holding a grudge, holding back forgiveness, is an energy drainer.
Roberto Assangioli, "Without forgiveness life is governed by... an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation."
You cannot erase the past; But You Can clear the record
“If we don’t deal with our unresolved conflicts, they’ll deal with us,” counsels Tim Kimmel.
Are there people whom you need to forgive? Do yourself a favor; give them something they don’t deserve but desperately need.
Give them the gift of forgiveness.

2nd: My Own Stupidity
My Match: Forgive Myself
From the start you built a place in my heart
A place that no one else could fill
BUT SIN kept your Spirit from working in me
I couldn't look at life honestly.
We cannot live a very productive life if we constantly struggle with forgiving ourselves...
Ephesians 4:32 (ESV)
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, AS GOD IN CHRIST FORGAVE YOU.
Colossians 1:13-14 (NKJV)
13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
If I struggle with forgiving myself I will struggle forgiving others
Esp forgiving the sin I struggle with..
FORGIVING SELF, AFTER GOD HAS FORGIVEN YOU (KEY), IS FOUNDATIONAL TO TRUSTING GOD
THE KEY TO TRUSTING YOURSELF IS LOVING GOD AND TRUSTING IN HIM.

QUIT HANGING around the PAST
START HANGING around with GOD
QUIT PUTTING YOURSELF DOWN
START SEEING YOURSELF FREE IN CHRIST
I AM CONVINCED AS WE STRUGGLE WITH UNFORGIVENESS THE MORE SELFISH WE BECOME.
Our thoughts are always on our struggle - keeping us locked up in the prison of self.
You cannot erase the past;
Deal with it & LET IT GO
Day of Atonement
Aaron laid hands on the live goat, confessing the sins of the camp, and send's the scapegoat into the wilderness...
Listen how Moses describes this...
Lev 16:22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall LET IT GO in the wilderness.
"I came to Jesus weary worn and sad,
He took my sins away...
Start Agreeing with God
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
and the things of earth
will grow strangely dim
In the light of His Glory and Grace.
There comes a time when you have to intentionally decide to stop beating yourself up over the mistakes you made in the past.
How many of you have calendars you use on your cell phone, tablet or computer? Get it out and make this appointment with yourself, "stop beating myself up"
AND RIGHT AFTER THAT WRITE
LET IT GO AND WALK WITH GOD
Psalm 16:11 You will show me the path of life: IN YOUR PRESENCE is fullness of joy.
