Forgiveness is not a feeling - it's a decision we make because we want to do what's right before God.

God doesn’t want us to live timid, shy, weak, wimpy, fearful, boring lives. He wants us to be bold, con dent and courageous, unafraid to try new things. And it never ceases to amaze me what God will do through a person who simply steps out in faith.

As a Christian, instead of concentrating on how you feel, focus on what you know to be truth from the Word of God.

Spending time with God is the key to our strength and success in all areas of life. Be sure that you never try to work God into your schedule, but always work your schedule around Him.

The first step to forgiveness is the desire to do it, no matter how you feel toward the person who hurt you. Then you make the decision to do it which means it's a firm decision that won't change when your feelings change. The next step is to depend on the Holy Spirit to help you do what you've decided to do.

Don't be too concerned about what others think of you. It's what you think about yourself that matters!

If you can believe the God who is perfect loves you then you can believe that you are worth loving.
