Living A Blessed Year

Good works shine God’s goodness before men. We are to be salt that flavors the world with the goodness of God. Preserving God’s character and nature as the works of the enemy are destroyed.
We are called human beings, not human doings. All of our doing comes out of our being. We don’t do good works to be made righteous. Because of who we are, now we do good works. We love because we are loved. We bless others because we are blessed.
Your identity is who or what you believe you are as an individual and is shaped by what or who you identify with.

Rather than ignoring unhealthy behaviors or accepting disconnection in relationships, Courageously and Lovingly take a step toward confrontation.
Sometimes we need to apologize and be forgiven, other times we need to accept apologies and forgive. We must receive forgiveness from God, we must forgive ourselves and we must forgive others.
Because God values relationship, reconciliation is justice because of the cross. Jesus loves you so much, he would have died on the cross for just you. Reconciliation is made possible through forgiveness. God has already reconciled with His creation through the cross. Choose to be reconciled with God and others you encounter on a daily basis. The choice is now yours.
God’s justice is defined by reconciliation (reunion, mending) not retribution (punishment, penalty). Every choice and decision you make sets you on a path. Forgiveness is a choice to end the cycle of revenge and retribution and leave justice in the hands of God.
Choose to forgive‚ period, no excuses and let the process of healing and freedom begin regardless of others responses.
