The importance of forgiveness:

It's difficult to forgive someone who has betrayed your trust, especially if you put your faith in the wrong person. We can't forgive on our own, we need the Holy Spirit's assistance. The Holy Spirit, according to Romans 8:26, assists us in our weaknesses. Forgiveness entails letting go of all the hurt, breaking free from those shackles, and moving on. Not forgiving someone is the same as remaining imprisoned in a bitterness-filled jail cell, serving time for someone else's crime.

Refusing to forgive and keeping the toxicity in your own head will only add to the drama in your personal life.

When you forgive someone, it is for no one else but yourself. You will be unable to have a relationship with God if you still hold a grudge against someone else.

Resisting to forgive doesn’t gives us power, however it enslaves us to sin. We should forgive so often that it becomes automatic—our default response to wrongdoing.

This is why Jesus said we should forgive each other seventy times seven (Matthew 18:22). Most people believe that forgiving someone entails regaining trust in them, You can forgive them while refusing to trust or associate with them.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against

How do we allow our past to not define us

Even if you don't have everything together, rest certain that God sees you as his priceless possession. Your past does not define who you are today. In actuality, from a spiritual viewpoint, who you are today is not determined by your past. It might affect your thoughts, but it doesn't make you who you are. God proclaims our true identity: that we are made in His likeness and in His image, reflecting both the male and female facets of God (according to Genesis 1:26-27).
