Last night, I felt a little upset with a gesture my husband did… twice. The moment we got home, I didn’t talk anymore until I fell asleep. No “Good night” or even a good night kiss.
Well, the Lord never lets us get away, right? The following morning (still not in the mood), we had our daily devotion and guess what the topic was?
FORGIVENESS.
While he was reading the devotion aloud, I was battling in my head. But he hurt me. He offended me. I was very upset. Until I heard the words… Forgiveness is not about feelings. When you were hurt, you choose to forgive. He further gave a statement that couples can use.
Hubby looked at me and I looked away. He asked if I could forgive him. =( Ok, that part was really hard. I know that “love does not keep record of wrongs” but if you are in the situation already, it’s a whole lot different.
You know, only by God’s grace. He has forgiven us BIG TIME. He has forgiven our sins. He was even crucified on the cross for sins he did not even commit. It was a slap on my face realizing how ungrateful I am. God has forgiven me and I should also forgive. It is a choice.
Is it easy for you to forgive your husband?
Are there people in your life you need to forgive?

I can totally relate
but I admit, it’s easy for me to forgive my husband because like what you’ve said, we are forgiven BIG TIME so there is no reason for us not to forgive.
Such a very nice blog you have. God bless!!

I can forgive Ben anything, but otherwise, I hold a grudge.

Well bitterness can cause lots of illnesses! We better be careful with our hearts.. =) I have to constantly tell that to myself!
When I and my boyfriend have argument, I will always think I’m right and he is wrong. Also, he thinks he is right and I’m wrong too. But the fact is, who’s wrong who’s right, it’s hard to tell. Sometimes, it’s obvious who’s wrong but that doesn’t matter. What it really does matter is that if both of us love each other, each of us need to learn to forgive and accept and change. That’s the only key to happiness. (That’s only my opinion)
