Move On

Is there any bitterness in your heart that you should do away with? Are there things you regret about your life? Made any bad decisions that you’re not happy about? Absolutely! We all have. Yet, if we keep letting those things bring us down, we’re not only wasting our time, we’re violating God’s Word.

Forgiveness is a difficult thing sometimes. It is especially difficult when it’s ourselves that we need to forgive. We’re frail and imperfect. Most of us are quick to anger, quick to blame, slow to forgive and even slower to forget. However, God’s command was that His people be a forgiving people. We’ve been forgiven, so why not extend that blessing to others?

Is there one person against whom you hold some kind of bitterness or unforgiveness? Or are you bitter toward yourself for some mistake you’ve made? Either way, it’s time to forgive and move on. Hatred, regret and bitterness are not a part of God’s plan for anyone’s life. Forgiveness is.

It’s time to move on, isn’t it? Find some time today to read Ephesians 4, especially verses 31-32. Think about it and live it.
