forgiveness

The Lord has really been speaking to my heart this past week. I have been dealing with resentment and unforgiveness of others that have hurt me. I realize that I am hurting no one but myself with these feelings, and I am strapping them to my back and carrying the weight of them around by harboring such feelings.

So all I have to do is forgive them, give myself permission to, and I have. Even though they have hurt me, I am not so sure they exactly meant to do so. I am going to show some grace and mercy, after all....I have been forgiven many, many times over, and I have not deserved a bit of it, but the Lord gave it to me.

Thank you Jesus for showing me grace and mercy, and reminding me of when I also need to share that grace and mercy.
