Hope is a powerful word. When we choose to hope, we deny despair of it’s power. God is the God of hope, and by the power of the Holy Spirit we can abound in hope even when the outlook seems dim. Celebrate the hope and victory that Christ brings to our lives.
The greatest gift we can give another person is the gift of forgiveness. Let it go. Release the right to hold something over another person, and place the issue into God’s just and loving hands. Forgiveness doesn’t mean it’s okay for someone to hurt you. Set wise boundaries if necessary. Forgiveness isn’t always easy, but it eases you of the burden of bitterness, anger and disappointment. As we celebrate the One who came to offer us forgiveness for all our sins, let us honor Him by living with a forgiving heart.
Be still, Be Present. Be gentle. Be patient.
As we enter the Christmas season, I am launching a fun new series called 25 Positive Words for the Holidays. It is meant to help us look at the brighter side and the bigger picture each day of December leading up to Christmas. So join me here at Positive Life Principles or on my author Facebook page to get a daily dose of positive starting Friday, Dec 1. Feel free to share the posts with your friends to uplift their hearts during the holidays. I love walking this journey together!
If you are looking for a gift for the holidays, Pursuing God in the Quiet Places Devotional makes a great gift and stocking stuffer.
