Forgiving and overlooking another's faults.

Proverbs 10: 12

12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.

Have you noticed relationships are so difficult to maintain? Working on forgiving and overlooking another's faults are one of my focused during my fasting period. To be honest, so people just know how to irritate me. So I have to really pay attention to my words, the way I react and be graceful in my approach.

I am currently learning to filter my words and I am also learning to take other people's feelings into consideration. I don't want to offend or hurt other people.

Today let me encourage you and let me tell you it is difficult and I am learning so much but God has been so graceful towards me I can only thank Him. My filters are working, I am able to wait and see what the outcome is.

Prayer

Abba Father, Lord as I think of the people who offend and hurt me, the people that took advantage of my kindness, the people that hated me. Lord Jesus I forgive and overlook all their faults. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over each person. Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God. On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach. Are you able to relate? It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;” Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD. After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
