Hurt?

Luke 17:1  (NKJV)

 Then He (Jesus) said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come!

Forgiveness is not amnesia.  It's remembering things differently.  God knows how to deal with those who have done you wrong.  You need to just get out of the way.  Resistance gives you lift and perspective.  Forgiveness is not about keeping score.  It's about losing count.   Jesus forgives us over and over again.

AN UNSEEN WAR

AN UNSEEN WAR IS GOING ON in and for my mind. TO WIN THE BATTLE IN & FOR MY MIND, I MUST HAVE God's Spirit and Word inside of me. MY GOAL IS TO learn to think like Jesus.  RETHINKING MY LIFE TO MATCH HOW JESUS THINKS IS CALLED Repentance.  Repentance is a good word which means change the way you think. 

Rick Warren

Time to change

ANY CHANGE I WANT IN MY LIFE starts in my mind. I CAN CHANGE how I feel by changing the way I think. EVERY BEHAVIOR IS BASED on a belief. ANYTIME I SIN, AT THAT MOMENT, I'm believing a lie.  

Rick Warren
