SISTERS REUNITED BY CHRIST AND FORGIVENESS - Connie L Harris;Vicky Butler

This book speaks of the power of forgiveness. We find forgiveness through God's Holy Spirit. When you truly forgive someone, you give up the "right" to bring it up against them anymore.

The most common ones to forgive are your siblings, because they have known you throughout your growing up years and learn your most vulnerable feelings, secrets, and emotions. This is my story, and my sister Vicky's story... but God's Glory!

Next would be our sponses, because they learn to know you better than anyone else! Our children would probably be the ones to know how to touch our hearts and seek forgiveness often, as well as we will need their forgiveness too. It is always a humble experience to ask your child to forgive you!

We need to realize that God has forgiven us of so many sius, and we need to look to Him to help us to forgive others with the same forgiveness which He bestows upon us!

The word forgiveness has the word "give" in it for a purpose. We can give ourselves the gift of forgiving others, as well as ourselves. To forgive yourself is the hardest thing to do. Also, some sins seem almost impossible to forgive.

God wants us to be set free from all anger, bitterness, and rage, so that we don't have to carry that baggage around anymore! Have you carried a wounded spirit way too long Wounds need healing by the power of His forgiveness and anly God can heal the ruptured soul!

We must learn to laugh at the past, and march towards freedom just ahead!

We must always seek His perfect Will for our lives, and NOT our own, because our will leads us right into rebellion against God...when we rebel, we hurt God, others and ourselves most of all.
