Ours is not to convict or judge, but to forgive. The true way to help a person is to show total commitment of love to that person – letting your heart go to that person, forgiving for the past, helping that person mend from their pain and anguish for wrongs they may have done.

 

You don’t want to worry about things that are beyond your control. Making someone unhappy because they did something wrong in the past is making them needlessly suffer, and if we are always reminding ourself of the negative events by always bringing them up we are hurting them for something that they cannot change. We want to learn from the past and then put it aside and get on with a new life. Forgiveness brings freedom from regrets and pain.

 

The past cannot be changed, the future is still in your power – H White.

 

And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten…

 

When you love everyone, then you can forgive a person for their wrongs, and then with the true love in your heart for that persons suffering you can help that person. How many people have you known to turn to God and live wonderful lives helping people? Plenty, because this is a part of what being Born Again means, Salvation and being Born Again in Christ and changing from the person you were to that new person in Christ, and reaching others with your new knowledge.

 

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

 

In many cases it may only need your forgiveness, showing some genuine love, and you can have a new friend, a friend who will stand by your side. Your’s and my forgiveness can change lives – always be willing to forgive and keep the door to your heart open to receive genuine peoples love and apologies. A better future for all of us relies on our efforts to be the genuine love that we talk about.

 

 

Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

 

There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it. There is only an eternal now that builds and creates out of the past something new and better – J W van Goethe.

 

The past is never completely lost, however extensive the devastation. Your sorrows are the bricks and mortar of a magnificent temple. What you are today and what you will be tomorrow are because of what you have been – Gordon Wright.

 

All the best from

James M Sandbrook.
