The Habit of Forgiveness

All of us have habits that are harder than others. Some people exercise regularly, but they don’t eat right. Others eat right but don’t get enough sleep. One spiritual habit that is hard for most people is the habit of forgiveness. Forgiveness is allowing the grace of God to flow through us. It is the expelling of the hurts that have happened to us, much like exhaling is releasing the carbon dioxide from our lungs. Keep it in too long, and it begins to kill us! This habit will remind us to “breathe” forgiveness out that we might breathe in more of God’s Grace.
