Autumn

Here it is Autumn again. Another season past. Another year gone by. Time that is behind us can not be regained. The things that we did in our past can not be undone. The things that we have said or done to harm others can not be taken back . We, our self, can not make up to someone what we have done to them willingly to hurt them. Think before you willfully choose to hurt another person.

God can help us to try to seek the forgiveness of someone we have intentionally or willfully hurt in the past. We each need to come to God to first seek forgiveness for the wrong we have done to someone else. Then we need to seek their, the one we have chosen to hurt, forgiveness. Whether it is by sending a letter, an email, making a phone call, paying a visit to them or however the Lord leads one to try to make amends for the wrong they have done someone else, it is time to do that.

We never know how much time God has given us. We are not guaranteed no time past the present moment we are living in. Do you want to die without making things right between you and the one you chose to willfully hurt ? Do you want the one you willfully hurt to die before you have had a chance to make amends with them ? This is something you , each of us, needs to think about ? Do you have a brother or sister that you have not spoken to in years because you had a misunderstanding ? Do you have a parent you have not spoken with in a while or visited in a while because of some slight one of you did the other ? Have you a husband or wife whom you chose to hurt and not sought forgiveness from them yet they have sought your forgiveness ? Do you have a child you either no longer talk to or visit or they do you in this same way ? Have you a friend or family member who you hurt or they hurt you that you have not tried to make things right with ?

I encourage each of you to please seek to make things right with those you have chosen to hurt or those who have chosen to hurt you.At least try to make amends. Let them know of how you feel and that you are trying to understand them and how they feel. Let them know that you bear them no ill wishes or harm even if they do not accept it or even if they were the one that chose to hurt you. We have to forgive those who have chosen to hurt or harm us even if they do not seek our forgiveness. The Lord tells us that if we do not forgive then He will not forgive us.


Matthew 6:14-15
14) For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15) But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
