"Let Bygones be Bygones"

Have you ever had a problem with someone? Maybe you have a friend, a spouse, a child, someone who has betrayed your trust. Whatever your problem may be, you think about it every waking moment and it begins to control everything about you...

Just like a snowball, the problem keeps getting bigger and bigger. Soon, you start watching every move they make and analyze everything they say. Before you know it that friend, spouse, or child is so far away...

This is no way to live your life. There is no peace or happiness in this type of situation. Sometimes it's hard to understand how one little thing became such a mountain in your life. Where can you begin to solve such a problem?

It starts with forgiveness...
The bible says in Ephesians 4;31,32..."Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking be put away with all malice; and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."
Sure, you may have to swallow some pride and maybe even admit some of your own shortcomings. Maybe you have to give a lot of forgiveness, but your heavenly Father forgave you of all...
Think about what's at stake in your life...a friendship? a marriage? parent/child relationship?
Let bygones be bygones. Take back that relationship that has been broken with; your friend, your husband, your wife, your child, etc...
God can move your mountains...Give it to Him today and have that peace you so much deserve.
