Instant results in the crucible of change are like the dazzling of lightning in a storm, it is very transient or invariably absent.

We need to leave sin, We need to leave self, We need to leave Satan
We need to CLEAVE TO GOD, We need to CLEAVE to JESUS CHRIST, We need to CLEAVE TO THE HOLY GHOST

Do you want to cast a love shadow? Draw close to the one who is Love Himself.
Do you want to cast a shadow of the gospel? Draw close to Jesus.

A man of integrity even when faced with challenges sticks to his values no matter what.

Your companionship is a ‘ship’
Your relationship is also a ‘ship’
Your friendship is also a ‘ship’
The quality of your ship determines how far you can go on the sea of life.

Overall, in forgiving, you are doing to yourself more good than you are to the offender. Not forgiving is like drinking a poison and expecting the other person to die from it.

Forgiveness is an evidence of growth and maturity because it is a product of understanding. One of the evidence of growth is change in cognitive ability that is change in how you see things; your perspective.

The act of forgiving others attracts forgiveness when you need it because forgiveness attracts forgiveness.

Forgiveness is not denying or ignoring the reality of the offence; in order to forgive, you must acknowledge the hurt and negative feeling before you can let go of it. So living in denial of an offence is not really forgiveness.

PRAYER I am guilty, Dear Lord. Thank you for saving me from this mess that would have taken the totality

We can only change for the good by sincerely looking inward and admitting we need a change, and working towards the desired change.
