Justifying

We all make excuses at one time or another and justify why we makes mistakes, sin or be bad.

Often people will justify why they can’t forgive someone for the wrongs done to them. We should forgive others and not for justifying the wrong they bestowed on us. Forgiveness is actually for our benefit and not for the person we ask forgiveness from. We don’t have to ask them to forgive just do so in our hearts. In some cases they may have no idea that wronged us so we are bitter for whatever reason.

Some wrongs we do over and over again even though we know what we are doing are wrong.  We can justify or make excuses in doing those wrongs. We should step up to the plate to get it changed.

I am not here to judge you for the wrongs, mistakes or sins that you have committed I just want you to be encouraged to do the right thing. I have done many things to never judge another person. Also I am saying this for my benefit well as for others.

Choose to have a smile on your face as well even if it doesn’t feel right. Having my high school reunion on Saturday was a good thing though not as many people showed up as I would have like. Some classmates I am sure didn’t show because they may want to forget the wrongs and troubles they went through growing up. I didn’t have a great childhood especially at school how I was treated but I have forgiven those who wronged me and I would have no problem seeing them as well. I am sure they are different people now compared to being kids. Remember most of us didn’t’ think things through at that time.

If you feel that you should forgive someone again you can do so just in your heart. Telling them that you forgive them may surprise them or they might not take your forgiveness. It all depends on the other person.

Peace and have a wonderful and great week. Amen!
