I am a believer in Jesus Christ. He died on the cross for YOU and I, for the sins that we commit daily.. so that WE can be in Heaven one day with our Lord and Savior.
And for a second if you don't think that you or someone else in your life deserves this forgiveness than you are wrong and as I said before.. That's the immense beauty of Grace. Not one of us deserves the Grace of God, but yet He loves us anyways and forgives us anyways.
This is not me trying to justify sin or anything like that, but I want to say this:
If we are believers in Christ and Christ forgives us, aren't we called to forgive and love those in our lives when they mess up too?
I would say as Christian's we are constantly called to love, serve and forgive others that don't deserve it. It saddens my heart that people are quick to say that they do these things, but when push comes to shove they don't actually do or believe it.
This past week this has been laying very heavy on my heart.
I'm not saying that forgiving is an easy thing, but if God can forgive us than how can we not forgive others?
No one should be defined by their past mistakes. I am sure glad I'm not. Our God is a God of second chances and I believe that I should be a person that gives second chances too.
I know if I mess up I would want a second chance and a little bit of Grace.
