Forgive and be the Christian JESUS wants you to be

Forgive And Be The Christian JESUS Wants You To Be

He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.

Proverbs 17:19

Live a life that is after peace… be of CHRIST. Learn to let things go, and forgive quickly. It is hard, but just do it; not only because it's the Christian thing to do, but because it eases the heart and helps you worry less. There is a lot going on in life, thinking about what someone else has done to you is way more trouble you can't afford to deal with. You know what can be more astonishing is, when someone has totally forgotten, or you try to remind him or her and innocently CANNOT remember what he or she did to you! That can be so horrible! You think it's above forgiveness! The funny thing is you ask yourself who the supposed #Christian is meant to be forgiving and forgetting! Nevertheless, you have to let go and forgive.

²¹ Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

²² Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Matthew 18:21-22King James Version (KJV)

He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.” Proverbs 17:9

Another thing, as a Christian, don't react back, it's like #Revenge. For instance, I used to know someone that would insult the heck out of anything, and the person would not hesitate to throw some "insultive" words at me. I would let go and all, but the day I asserted an insult at her, just describing what she had done, she came out saying, "and you call yourself a #Christian and you can call me that".... In my mind I was like, "You are Christian too, and you insult me all the time, I only took one shot at you to address what you have done, and what about the thousand negative words you used towards me?"......

We just have to be that #Christian that is #patient and puts up with a lot, but at the same time, let some people know when they have crossed some boundaries....

⁴ Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

⁵ Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

Proverbs 26:4-5King James Version (KJV)

Realize when to let someone know they can't talk trash, and also when to let go. Well, since we're all humans, and there are times we can't see the difference, we just have to spend time with GOD, so we can know #HIS #VOICE and know what HE has to say concerning each #issue, because all #issues don't deserve the same kind of response, like the proverb above states.

When there was a #Famine, Abraham and his family moved to where there was abundance (Genesis 12:10). When famine arose again during the time of Isaac, his son, he stayed put as GOD led him into abundance (Genesis 26:1-14). As Christians, it is important to be able to learn how to understand the #difference....

⁸ This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Joshua 1:8King James Version (KJV)

Bible study also helps to know how GOD would want a Christian, you, to deal with each issue: be calm or attack, pray and fast or praise or do all together, give or withhold....
