Forgiveness

Today's service at Mountain Lake was awesome!! Our ministry team and growth group leaders were up front at the end of the service and everyone in the congregation was asked to come up and forgive those who have hurt them in the past but they had not been able to forgive them. No "details" just get with someone and tell them you're having trouble forgiving [first name of the person] and you want to be able to do it. A ton of people went to the front and burdens were shed.

The message was all about how God forgives us freely and how we should do the same. When you give it up and stop "holding a grudge" so-to-speak, it really takes a load off of your heart, mind and soul. So why not try spreading a little forgiveness today. Ask God to forgive you and to give you the courage to forgive that person in your life that you just have not been able to forgive in the past. You won't believe how freeing it is when you spread a little forgiveness.
