Quote: ”How do we forgive? How do we release our need for revenge, and prevent anger, bitterness, and resentment from raking our hearts with their destructive claws? Well, one thing I’ve learned. You may not feel forgiving, but if, out of sheer obedience to Christ, you voice your pardon anyway—every day if need be, until it ‘takes’ in your heart—true forgiveness will follow…in other words, feeling often come after the decision to take to action…(Prayer) Dear Papa God, sometimes it seems like forgiveness requires a constant battle between my feelings and my actions. Help me to act in obedience and trust You, Amen.”
