Forgive.

Colossians 3:12-17

12Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

I've been having some struggles with forgiveness, and as I opened my Bible before going to school today, this passage was the first page I turned to. "Bear with each other and forgive..." it's funny sometimes in what ways God works and speaks to you.

It's a new year, and as usual at the beginning of it everyone wants a fresh start... a new beginning... with finishing up high school and starting college, I'm sure it will be a good year.
I'm praying to hold onto Galations 5:1 "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firms, then, and do not let yourselves be bound again by a yoke of slavery." I don't feel like writing too much... so I won't but I'm praying a lot for this year, this verse, and upcoming decisions and what not that are awaiting me... let's just hope things go well... that I don't mess up, and that I can be free and not bound to the endless list of sins which I don't think I'll post.

:) I miss the winter break...
