Struggles

When I search
forgiveness...I get 186 times it is listed...WOW so it must be LOTS of people need to read about forgiveness. The bible teaches us that we must forgive...we can not out forgive God, but because of the amount that it is listed in the bible it tells me that I am not the only one to struggle with forgiveness. It is an everyday struggle that I even forget sometimes...

845 times the bible says LOVE, so we must need help/advice in this area too...sometimes I want to love those who are closest to me or those who are most like me but Jesus loved the disciples and they were not like Him (other than made in his image) they were sinners. While He loved them he He also had to forgive them because they were sinners, after all they were human.

While HE did love and forgive them He taught them and expected them to be more like Him...after all that is what being a Christian is all about, being more Christ like...

Being more Christ like will be something we struggle with until the day we die...in heaven with Christ we will be perfect (like He intended for us to be)

185 times the bible talks about eternity...and 537 the bible talks about heaven...

The only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ, who came to die for your sins...He sacrificed His life as an atonement for ALL of our sins...we are to forgive as He forgave us and we are to love as Christ loved us...I am trying, REALLY trying...

We are also to pray for on another, so please cover each other in prayer...
