I need to forgive, this is so true. I need to forgive myself. I kick myself in the butt often, I have to stop being so selfish. God has provided many blessings that are sufficient for me to live peacefully. My resentments against my fellow man goes deeper because I can blame. Grief over the past haunts me. God can allow a way out, I need to enter through the narrow gate.

Came to Christ in “74”. Started honestly Pershing a relationship with Christ in “98”. Have been blessed to walk with Forgiveness most ever since and when I am not, it because of false pride. Yet again, another reason to pursue Christ!!!

The greater the sin against you that you forgive, the greater the reward in growth you’ll receive. In this way, the harder your life has been, the greater your future CAN be. Think of your past like a slingshot when you come to the time of surrender, where every resentment and grudge you’ve ever held has held you back (and it has/is), when you release that resentment and anger (poison), you are slingshotted into a new level of freedom and peace. Happy shooting fellas 😃🙏🏻

The hardest one to forgive is myself.

Been struggling with a breakup recently that has affecting me poorly. It’s difficult for me not to be upset with my ex for how things ended. Please pray for me to forgive and let her go. I need God’s strength to get through this.

Forgive each other and pray for each other. Show the love God has shown us. All failing to forgive does is give them a permanent place in your mind to torment you. Love you Jesus! 💜💙❤️💚

continues……What grudges are you secretly hiding against someone that you need to get rid of even if you can’t tell them in person that you forgive them. What grudges are you harboring against yourself for things that you have done and are ashamed of. Trust me releasing the grudges toward others and even those you hold against yourself is the best thing you can ever do spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically. Grudges will eat you up and let Satan and his minions have plenty of places to continually attack you.

I have found that forgiving others is essential if we truly want to grow to be strong Christian men. As most of you know one of the things I had to deal with in life was the sexual molestation that two of my brothers did to me. These two brothers were the closest to me in being just shy of 5 and 6 years older. They didn’t include me in everything but we would go hiking, fishing, play ball, go sledding and many other things together. The molestation started when I was around 10 or 11 and lasted for two years ending when the oldest went into the marines and the younger then went off to college. For years I hid the memories but it affected how I looked at either of them. As I began to realize and accept what happened I also began to realize that I needed to forgive them. The younger of the two I was able to do just before he past away as the family gave us a moment alone together. As I told him that I forgave him a tear trickled down his cheek even though he was in a coma. For me the release was tremendous from every stand point. I have not been able to tell the older brother because he broke all ties with the family years ago but in my heart and mind I have. I also found that I had to forgive myself as well and not continue to blame myself for everything as well.
344/365: Release The Grudge
Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. ~ Colossians 3:13
Carrying a grudge against your brother doesn't harm anyone else but you. Left unconfessed a grudge becomes a voice in our head which begins to negatively shape the way we think and live.
Unforgiveness is a cruel punishment inflicted upon yourself. Jesus knew this about mankind. Its why he emphasized forgiving others!
God is gracious enough to forgive our countless mistakes. Today is the day you should forgive whoever did whatever to you and unlock your prison gates.
