Accept God's Forgiveness

If God forgives us we must forgive ourselves otherwise its like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him -C. S. Lewis

From today and everyday that follows learn to accept God's forgiveness. Do not be counted among that great number of people that never learn to forgive themselves. If you have truly sought God's forgiveness, then God has forgiven you! Now, today, forgive yourself and get on with your life.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

Clear Up Misunderstandings Quickly

Try to clear up misunderstandings quickly. Misunderstandings between you and others will occur. Take the initiative to rectify the misunderstanding even if you believe you are in the right. The longer you let the misunderstanding go the more difficult it becomes to resolve the situation.

Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. -Matthew 5:23-24
