A better day

Friends,

Check your heart today. Are you holding anger inside towards another? Have you neglected to forgive in a meaningful and purposeful manner?

Numbers 35:33-34
So you shall not pollute the land where you are; for blood defiles the land, and no atonement can be made for the land, for the blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of him who shed it. Therefore do not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell; for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel. [NKJV]

Matthew 5:21-22a
You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. [NKJV]

Anger and bitterness and unforgiveness wield remarkable power in our daily lives. Some effects are obvious ... depression, lashing out, ulcers. Some are not as obvious, but they are real nonetheless.

Brothers and sisters, let today be the day you release any anger. Today, make it your business to explicitly forgive those who have sinned against you. You'll be amazed at how much better today becomes!

Be encouraged, Jose
