There is an old cliche' that says "time will heal all wounds." However, a wound left unattended will either take a long time to heal, or it will not heal at all. Old wounds and scars can hinder church growth, destroy relationships, and even cause health issues. Read the passages of scriptures in Ephesians 4:32 and Colossians 3:13 to further understand the concept of forgiveness.
We must learn to live together in harmony. But living in harmony takes Christ being in the center of our lives. "Treat" people the way you want to be treated. Learn with Jesus' help how to forgive.
There is an expensive price tag to pay for non-forgiveness. It is "pride", and God will not forgive us if we won't forgive our fellowman.
Take the self exam. Stop looking at others faults but look within yourself.
Be encouraged and of good cheer!

Thank you for those words of wisdom. I believe that they were greatly needed for me to hear and focus on. To God be the Glory!!!
Thank you so much for the encouraging words. It is always good to go back and reflect on yourself with God to make sure that we are walking in obedience. Thank you again
I think sometimes we think forgiveness means forgetting. Not true. The way I know I have truly forgiven a person. When I see them those old feelings have passed on and I look at them in a different light. I remind myself that God loves unconditionally and so must I. I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. Thanks for sharing.
Sis. Wadlington, I am thankful for this blog and our conversation on this topic. I have read several books and in each book, chapter 1 begins with self examination. In this blog you hit the nail on the head..."STOP LOOKING AT OTHERS FAULTS BUT LOOK WITHIN YOURSELF". To often we focus on what others have done to us and not looked at what we have contributed to the situation or even better what we HAVE NOT contributed to avoid and/or overcome the issue. Again this is definately a resource to also encourage our youth as they begin to build character. Thank you again for this encouraging and thought provoking blog. ~Janel :)
Sis. Wadlington,
I am so thankful for your place in His House and have been truly blessed by every entry. May God continue to bless you as you share wisdom with us. Forgiveness - this is a topic I often have to revisit!
Love Ya
