Gifts from the Heart!

Forgiveness:

                This may appear to be the hardest gift to give, or the one that may cost you most, but you will be surprised to find yourself benefiting from this more than anyone else!

                Is there someone that you are having a hard time with, or is there something in your past that you are holding onto? You have been forgiven of so much, can you not forgive someone else? Or think of it this way: When you stand before Christ (who has forgiven you of all your wrong doing,) and have to explain yourself, will He be glad or proud of you for holding onto these negative feelings? Everything takes on such a trivial air in the light of Christ and eternity!

                The fruit of forgiveness is peace, contentment, relief.

                The fruit of unforgiveness is bitterness, resentment, indignation.

                Can you see how YOU are the winner? Try it! It may seem difficult, but with practice, you’ll find that forgiveness can benefit you more than you ever imagined!
