At one time or the other, we all have unfair things
happen to us and as a result of this we conclude within our minds that we will
never forgive such people. However, I have come today to tell you that even
though someone betrayed you; jilted you; deceived you; mistreated you or
whatever, you need to let go of the hurt and bitterness and anger so that you
can move forward in life.
For no just reason, King Saul just hated David and
he decided to kill him. It was so bad that King Saul at a time left the palace
with his fighters in search of David. Even when the King had an agreement that
he was never going to harm David again, he still didn’t keep to his own side of
the deal. All these were enough to sow some seeds of discord and bitterness in
David but instead, he chose to forgive the king and just forge ahead.
Joseph’s brother sold him into slavery. They
betrayed him big time. He could have allowed what they did to him affect his
destiny but he chose to forgive and forged ahead to claim his place in destiny.
If he had been busy planning a revenge attack against his brothers, Joseph
might never have fulfilled destiny. Even when it was in his power to harm and
revenge, he choose not to because he understood that vengeance is the Lord and
He will repay.
Someone said when you chose not to forgive someone,
you have just given the person the remote control of your joy. In order words,
no matter how happy you are, the moment you see the person, you start boiling
on the inside. I understand that person might not deserve forgiveness
considering the gravity of what he/she did and I know it is not as easy as it
sounds to forgive but you need to always remember that until you forgive
others, your Father in heaven can’t forgive you.
Blessed Day Ahead!
