Take that Step: Forgive

December 17, 2014 by Kristi 1 Comment

    It's a common thread. Do you perceive it?   Forgiveness occurs when we draw near to our Father. It's an act of maturity. It's an act of surrender, of selflessness. It's an act of love...that sets us free.   Like the woman who poured perfume on Jesus, my love cup overflows onto others when I truly realize how much I have been forgiven.   Like Matthew 6:12, I am forgiven as I forgive Continue Reading

How to Forgive When I Don’t Want to Forgive

December 15, 2014 by Kristi 6 Comments

      UPDATE: Linking, having coffee, and enjoying Jesus today, Jan.21, 2015, with Jennifer Dukes Lee at #TellHisStory  and Holley Gerth.     Inside the turmoil began to brew.   I knew I should forgive and move past the situation.   But I had been hurt.    The swirl of painful words splattered my heart.

Re-gifting Forgiveness

December 8, 2014 by Kristi 6 Comments

Photo Credit: scottchan/FreeDigitalPhotos.net The gift of forgiveness isn't always an easy gift to give.   I want to forgive, but it's hard. I know I should forgive on a Biblical level, but my flesh seems to fuss.     ...Forgive, and you will be forgiven.  Luke 6:37   I want to hand the offender my gift, singing something like, "Here! This is for you. Take it, freely." Then I'll skip away and Continue Reading
