Oxymorons....

I'm sure you all know what an oxymoron is......those terms that are
self-contradicting like......
  • Jumbo shrimp
  • Freezer burn
  • Genuine imitation
  • Deafening silence

Well here's one that I read today that really gripped or should I say, more like stabbed my heart.....

Unforgiving Christian

God's word says if you don't forgive others then your heavenly Father will not forgive you!

I'll be honest, it's a struggle for me......sometimes I don't want to forgive the other person....but I know I have to or I won't be forgiven for the hurts I've caused others. I don't intentionally set out to hurt someone but sometimes the way I say things or react to others have hurt them and/or myself.

It's only by His strength and His power that I am able to do this!

So the word for this week is "FORGIVE"!

its easier to forgive others; harder to forgive yourself. i'm finding that when i can't forgive someone its bc i'm harboring unforgiveness against myself.
