Forgiving

"The holiest of all spots on earth is where an ancient hatred has become a present love."

I'm not sure I totally understand all that happens when you forgive but it is a major player in all our lives. I am certain about one thing, you won't move forward spiritually until you do forgive. Whenever we are hurt or wronged it is our flesh nature to seek revenge. Instead lay down the offense and look past it and try to see the hurting person.  God really will open your eyes to this.

There is a lot of talk about people growing up in dysfunctional homes.  I think the world is dysfunctional.  Everything we have gone through or suffered can be used to make our lives more valuable. The flesh nature or the ego respects and glorifies the pain and hurt. Forgiveness is the enemy to the flesh.

Let go of the hurt and whatever wrong you have suffered and choose to love!
