Colossians 3:13-14

Winter just doesn’t seem to want to let go around here does it? I’ve still got a cold, Avery is still sick but getting better. Keep praying for Maggie, things are going good so far with her. Thank you for all your prayers and keep them coming.

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Colossians 3:13-14

Take it upon yourself just as a hiker picks up his gear, to live a life of forgiveness toward others. It is through the action of letting go that we allow our own walks to get easier because we no longer carry the weight of others wrongs toward us or others. Now this is simple to say and hard to live by, but if we do not find a way there is more trouble than we need to have. 

We can only do so much in this world to please people and make things happen the way we think they should. There is only so much ability we have to convince people of the truth and lead them into the light. Most often the worst nature of man comes out and reigns even when we do our best to stop it from coming. 

The sooner we learn to forgive the sooner we will feel forgiven of our own wrongs and deeds. Even more we won’t blame ourselves when those close to us make mistakes that cost them love and life. We can stop accusing our own hearts for not doing more and realizing everyone has responsibility for their own choice. Just as we have the choice to love and forgive.
