forgiveness, is more than saying sorry
February 21, 2009
it makes me laugh whenever i sing that, from the movie Just Friends! but in a way, its kinda the truth.
we serve a MERCIFUL and FORGIVING Father, and thank the Lord for that! We can continue to say “I’m sorry” whenever we do or say something or think something we shouldn’t, but it’s more than saying sorry on our part. It is to completely stop, to completely cut ourselves off of what is causing us to stumble.
In a perfect world, it wouldn’t be so hard! But it is, but thank the Lord for his unfailing love. And when we do mess up, do not centralize on the negative and beat yourself up; let God bring your strength back up to fight against Satan next time. We must focus on not on putting ourselves down, but to continue to get over it and begin the journey upward.
That’s hard for me, I feel like whenever I do something or say something or say I’ll do something and I don’t, I feel like I go back on my word with God, and that breaks my heart that I break His heart and let him down. It’s a learning process, but I learn to realize the amazing love God still has for me. Strive to live for Him, in His likeness! Praise the Lord, for who He is!!
And on another note…
I can’t help it, I love watching Hannah Montana and would think it’d be fabulous to have friends like Lily and Oliver..especially Oliver, he’s hilarious!
