The season of Lent can be a time for RECONCILING FORWARD. We can bridge the gap between those we may have wronged, or those who have wronged us. When we reconcile it does move us forward. We don’t have to be locked in the past. Our lives do not need to be tied up in knots. We don’t have to live in the chaos of unforgiveness. Forgiveness brings freedom, and life can move ahead once again. Forgiveness is powerful. It is the way to get unstuck and to find get our life on track again. Ps 103:3 says that God forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases. Forgiveness can also bring healing! When we realize how much we have been forgiven, it should make it easy for us to be good forgivers. God wants to do a new thing in our lives, and that can happen when we get released from past hurts. We can be a part of the reconciliation process when we forgive others and offer forgiveness so that the air can be clear again. . So take a peek into your heart. Is there anyone you are holding a grudge over? Is there anyone who you have bitterness toward? Is there anyone you refuse to forgive? Why not let it go today. It will lighten your load. It will bring a spring to your step. It will help the fog lift from your field of vision. You will begin to breathe easier and experience peace like you have never known. If we really love, and are loved much, we can be forgiven and forgive much. What a great way to let this season be a time of reconciliation.
