Quote of the Day - 4/6

Many times, we can be hardheaded and stubborn. We can think of all the reasons why we are not going to change: They hurt me too badly. They did too much wrong to me. I am not going to forgive.

Remember, forgiveness is a choice, but it is not an option. Jesus put it this way: "If you don't forgive other people then your Father in heaven is not going to forgive you." When you hold on to unforgiveness, you are headed for trouble. You are on a destructive path. And God is saying to change your course.

It you want to be happy, if you want to be free, get that junk out of your life. Quit holding on to it; let it go. Don't let the root of bitterness continue to poison your life. Search your heart. When God brings issues to light, be quick to deal with them. Keep your stream pure. Friend, if you will do your part and keep the poison out of your life, you will see God's favor and blessings in a new way.

Do you want God to bring justice in your life? How would you like for God to restore everything that has been stolen from you? That is what we will look at next.
