Forgiveness is powerful eh just imagine a Generation working together not carrying the burden of another generations offence. A generation that is not the victim of past crimes, but instead the real victor for rising above them and working together and in unity to build a better tomorrow.
Being Jewish I could carry the burden of offence and murder of my own people 7 million of them but instead I choose not to hate Germans mainly because I am not a loser, I want to be the change I want to see. If I chose to be offended by Germans because they are Germans because 70 years ago Germans did terrible things to my family to my tribes to my generation I would be a victim of a past i never lived through and would be attacking the current generation of people who were not to blame yes I would be a loser. Yes those things were terrible but to move on I need to forgive and not breed hatred by remembering and teaching it to a new generation.
Were all looking for solutions but we are the solution we are the answer to the broken world around us and if we want to see change, positive righteous change then it starts right here with us. In our own hearts in our own lives we have to be part of the solution and in partnership with those who also desire to be the change. I find my inspiration from the rock from which I was hewn, he is no respecter of persons he doesn't judge by appearance or race. He judges those by how they judge others, he holds us accountable to our words like we can hold him accountable to his, yet he loves so much he selflessly gave his life and spilt his blood to pay the ransom of every person of every generation to set them free from slavery to evil. Do you know him?
If people who hold the reins in this world knew him they would drive the carriage more calmly and in the right direction on the right path instead we see their is no fear of the one who has the power over eternal life and the second death. From observation and experience they/and some of us have driven all over the place and in all sorts of wrong directions. We come near with their lips but our hearts are far from the real solution.
So what is the solution the solution is Love:
"4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails."
Lets be the solution if we live love people will want to love like us too... And then we will be the true victors, rising above the offence of the past and its circumstances. We will be changing the world around us by working together as equals and partners in the love of our father. Because Love is God and God is love.
So the real victors in life are not the great liberators who fall in their pride, no it is the ones who overcome pride and offence, who forgive by forgetting and rise above all the negative circumstances and offence and don't get bogged down in the victim spirit that blames others. lets be the ones who live in love and love others and rise above the our circumstances and bad feelings lets not allow that to stop us being the best. These are the people who inspire the people who carry greatness and attract the presence of our father. So lets rise above evil, and forget it, and seek to love despite all the circumstances even to and into the everlasting to everlasting world without end.
