You are Forgiven- Sept Bible Studies- Week 5- Day 1

Scripture
Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Observation
God doesn't want us to harbor hate in our hearts.  He doesn't want us to focus on vengeance and make ourselves bitter in the process.

Application

God doesn't want us to be unhappy. He doesn't want us to grow bitter and lead crappy life as we indulge in negative thoughts. Keeping score is not the way to live life. Practice tolerance and understanding without having to break down your own boundaries. Forgive yourself for being affected by others and forgiveness is more for yourself then being wronged by others and letting them get away with their wrongdoings. Learn from your experiences. 

Prayer
Dear LORD,

Help me to step away from the negativity associated with keeping grievances. I know that it is not something which I should be focusing on as it makes one bitter and stains the soul. I want to be with you and have peace.
AMEN
