Tonight just came for the group thanksgiving dinner, when we shared about our thanksgiving items, and our leader shared on Forgiveness.<\/p>\n<p>I was so blessed, when God reminded me to forgive someone (I thought i didn&#8217;t have any unforgiveness within). When actually i did kept a record of wrongs. It&#8217;s a separate matter when the person didn&#8217;t repent and asked for forgiveness. Because Jesus didn&#8217;t wait for the people to repent when he prayed to God to forgive, similarly Steven the Martyr, and God the Father himself was the One who gave His Son, when the world was his enemies.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of God, is love. And one characteristic of love, is forgiveness.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to forgive a small thing. Another to forgive when the stake is high. But God has shown in giving up His Son, that he chose to forgive.<\/p>\n<p>So i receive one the most remarkable gift from God this Christmas, the choice to forgive others, and set them free&#8230;if not, setting myself free. I wonder now, what should i do next.<\/p>\n<p>But God who has shown me, will show me what i need to do, for He answers me whenever I cry to Him.<\/p>\n<p>Thank You Lord for having mercy on me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year, i thank God for His love and blessing in providing me with a good group.
