2021 Annual Conference Excerpt from day 5: Love and Forgiveness Love Through love we were created, and love is what we were taught. From inception, God force fed us love. Therefore, nothing else can flow from our hearts except for love. Choose the path of love and let love rule amongst us. Forgiveness We stare at forgiveness daily, as we look at ourselves. Because He lives in us, as He has given us his Spirit. And yet, we cannot forgive our brothers and sisters. When we do not forgive, we keep ourselves away from the grace of God. Our first instinct should be to be forgive, before it is even asked. There is no sin nor person under the sun that is not worth our forgiveness. Christ has set an example: He first loved us, now We ought love on another He forgives all our sins, so that we may forgive seventy times seven over. He does not retain His anger forever. Anger and pain have a tendency to take up residence in our hearts. It festers and in a short space, it builds a temple. Therefore, always be willing to forgive. Remember that our lives started with "I forgive you." As you wake in the morning and before you sleep at night: Choose Forgiveness Choose Peace Choose Love May God heal generational conflicts May he restore us so completely that we are made perfect inside and out.
