Ғәмәлдәр 9:17-18

Forgiveness is a process. It takes time, costly and hard. It is restoring of relationships by releasing a painful past with an attitude of love. Nothing keeps us in bondage to the past as much as our unwillingness to forgive. Refusal to forgive leads to bitterness of the soul. Forgiveness is freedom from bitterness and the propensity to get even. It reopens the future of new beginnings – a restart.

Sa simula at kalagitnaan ng taon, tayo’y nagsasama-sama upang mag-ayuno at ipanalanging makilala ang Diyos sa buhay natin at ng mga tao sa paligid natin. Sa pangangaral ng Kanyang salita, binibigyan Niya tayo ng kakayahang maging daluyan ng mga himala para sa ating mga ugnayan at komunidad. Pag-isipan kung paano tayo ginagamit ng Diyos upang makilala Siya sa pamamagitan ng mga himalang nagpapalaganap ng Kanyang kaharian.

New Year. A New Day. God created these transitions to remind us that He is the God of New Beginnings. If God can speak the world into existence, He can certainly speak into the darkness of your life, creating for you a new beginning. Don’t you just love fresh starts! Just like this reading plan.
