Day 6
Good morning!! Yesterday we focused on
loved to love, and to make that even more clear today we want to look at
something that keeps us from loving others often; unforgiveness.
Unforgiveness is one of the big things
that make it hard to be positive. Think about it, you are in a great mood and
having a great day but then you see someone who did something to you in the
past and your mood completely switches up. Even further it causes those who are
around you, who may know about the situation to add into the negative feelings.
Or another example your spouse or significant other does something and you are
holding on to it days later, you end up having negative feelings in your heart
and worse your living environment. Yet through both of these examples you try
to move on as if everything else is okay.
You can’t pray for God to make you more
positive while you are harboring unforgiveness. The bible tells us “But when
you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that
your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too” Mark 11:25.
Forgive
How much unforgiveness are you harboring?
We are not sinless, and daily we are forgiven by God. I know that if you are on
this challenge/fast you want to make changes and hopefully are praying on those
changes; so clear your heart to receive all the positive things to come.
Today I want you to begin reflecting on
your most recent dealings with unforgiveness and begin to forgive. Tomorrow we
will continue to reflect on practical ways to forgive. As always you are
welcome to reach out for prayer or encouragement via the comment box on the blog, as I know this is one of the
hardest topics to deal with. Have a blessed & beautiful day! -Monica
