Take Off the Coat of Unforgiveness
Take off the coat of unforgiveness today. Release all the harsh feelings toward others and towards yourself.
There have been libraries of books and blogs written about forgiveness. Yet it is one of the major issues in people’s lives today. Holding unforgiveness in your heart will not hurt anyone but you. The person you need to forgive will not be affected. You are the one that is being poisoned while waiting for the other person to drop dead. They are living their life without a care, while you are frustrated, angry, mad and stressed out because of the unforgiveness you have boiling inside you. Release it today, release the poison today. Take off the coat of unforgiveness and never pick it back up again. Experience the freedom that comes from living forgiveness free. Become a giver of forgiveness. Give it away everyday and see your physical body react positively, your mind clear up and your spirit lifted.

Letting Go
Releasing unforgiveness in the form of forgiveness will release peace in you. No more resentment, anger, or bitterness will be inside you when you chose to forgive others.
Unforgiveness does not just stay inside of us as unforgiveness. It grows, mutates and changes over time. It becomes bitterness, resentment, anger, hatred and even rage. None of these are healthy emotions. When you can’t sleep at night thinking about what has been done to you; forgive. When you think about that person and you change from happy to mad; forgive. There is no room for unforgiveness in you. Your body DNA was not designed to contain unforgiveness. When you have forgiven you don’t bring it up again. The memory will still be there, but the pain attached to it is gone. God will honor your forgiving others. His love will permeate through you in such a way that you will not have all the negative emotions. Remember today, the amount of forgiveness you give is the amount of forgiveness you will receive. Freely and completely forgive today. Never pick up that offense again. Let it go totally!

Better Not Bitter
Feelings have nothing to do with forgiveness. What we think has nothing to do it either. We are to forgive as Jesus has forgiven us. Instantly and completely.
Forgiveness is one of the major roadblocks in people life’s today. Unless you forgive others, you can’t be forgiven. God has told us that if we desire forgiveness; we must give forgiveness. People say that they just can’t forgive others. Yes you can. People also say, “You don’t know what they did to me.” No, but I know what the unforgiveness you are holding is doing to you. Forgiveness is not for them anyways, it is all for you. It is the gift that you actually give yourself when you give it to others. Unforgiveness will destroy you from the inside out. It will make you a bitter, mean, and unhappy person. Today is your day of giving forgiveness. Let go of all the unforgiveness that you are holding. You will feel so much better when you are bitter.

Reconciling
Many people have had relationships that for one reason or another ended. It may have been the only solution, but there are others that wasn’t the case.
Is there someone that you have cut out of your life that you need to go and make things right with today. Could be a parent, a child, a friend or even your spouse. There is someone you just thought about. Go to that person and make it right. You may not can do this in person, but find a way to reconcile and restore the relationship today. Even if they don’t accept your attempt; you know that you tried . There is nothing more you can do than try to make it right. Feel the peace, the joy, the refreshed feeling that comes from reconciling and restoring that relationship. You will be so glad you did.

Letting it Go
In life, we all have unfair things that happen to us. We can choose to hold on to the hurt, become bitter and angry, and let it poison our future; or, we can choose to let it go and trust God to make it up to us. You not think that you are able to forgive because someone hurt you so badly. You might say, “Scott, you don’t know how I was raised.” “My ex-spouse caused me a lot of pain.” “This friend betrayed me.” “I just can’t let it go.” But realize, you don’t forgive for their sake; you forgive for your own sake. When you forgive, you are taking away their power to hurt you. But if you hold on to that offense and stay angry, you are only poisoning your own life and disconnecting yourself from God.
Forgiveness is like a door on your heart. If you shut the door and refuse to forgive, then God cannot forgive you. But when you open the door and allow forgiveness to flow from you, then His forgiveness can flow into you. Choose to forgive and open the door to receive God’s life, peace and healing today.

The Eyes Have It
This year and from now we need to see people through eyes of love, forgiveness, hope, understanding, patience, hope, encouragement.
People are quick to pass judgement on others without taking the time to look at where they are in life. If we took the time to see the situation from the other person’s point of view, we would not be so judgmental. We have to realize that others are going through tough day too. We judge ourselves by our intentions but judge others by their actions. Give others the benefit of the doubt when they act out. There is probably something going on in their world that is causing them to act that way. When we start seeing people through eyes of love, forgiveness, hope, understanding, patience, hope and encouragement, we will make a difference in their life. It goes back to treating others even better than we want to be treated. Don’t be so quick to pass judgement on others, but rather take the time to be a positive force in their life today.
