SPRING FORTH NOW

Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.

Genesis 45:5

Forgive is anchored by the word for, which means in order to obtain, acquire, gain. Thus, forgive means that we must give if we wish to obtain, gain, acquire something different from what is. I suggest to you that God commands, the greatest of the commandments, that we love one another because He understands the power of forgiveness. Love gives in order to obtain, gain, acquire. We can choose to hold grudges and allow people, places, and things to keep us in spaces in which we are down and desponded about ourselves, our abilities, and even our expectations or we can choose to forgive. For-give those people, places, and things of your spaces so that you might obtain, gain, acquire the promises of God. As we Accelerate, lean forward into the promises of God, we give and in our giving we gain. Do not allow the people, places, and things of your life hinder your ability to Soar, rise high by giving pass them and what they have done, thought and/or actions and keep your eye on the prize, the fulfillment of God’s promises for your life. Joseph endured quite a lot, however, the lesson learned is to give pass your pain, being right, the obstacles; whatever they may be, even the evil intent of his brothers to press forward in the fulfillment of God’s promises.
