Do not dwell on the past

Be kind and compassionate to one another,
forgiving each other, just as in Christ God
forgave you.
( Ephesians 4:32 *NIV )


It is easy for us to ask God for forgiveness, but we often
find it very difficult to forgive others. Therefore when you
find yourself angry with someone and thinking about revenge,
remember that it is written; Do not take revenge, my
friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it
is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,
" says the Lord. ( Romans 12:19 )

After all our Savoir Jesus Christ gave us this warning as well;
For if you forgive men when they sin against you,
your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if
you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will
not forgive your sins. ( Matthew 6:14-15 )

Therefore; "Forget the former things; do not dwell on
the past. ( Isaiah 43:18 ) For the past is gone and no
one can change it anyway! All we can do is make today the
best that we can by forgiving our enemies, just as God has
forgiven us!

So why not make peace with those who may have
angered you, remembering the Words of our Savior Jesus
Christ; Blessed are the peacemakers, for
they will be called sons of God. Amen.
( Matthew 5:9 )
