I have not been here for a long time, in fact, the heading of this one caught my eye as soon as I opened up my blog. I had a title, but nothing to go with it. No words to fill in that huge blank spot at the bottom.
Funny that should be the first thing I see today, that pretty much is how I am feeling. We all have those days. It comes from things that might happen on a regular basis or might be triggered by something said.
Are you born a failure? Some might argue that no we are not, but I am here to say, we are. See, we're born sinners, every single one of us. That was a let down huh? But by Gods grace, we are saved from that sin, and can move on with life.
Now some of you might be saying to yourself right now, "Tank, why you getting all religious on us for". Simple answer to that for ya... I felt the need to write it out today. Something was pushing my heart to just let it out. So I guess me seeing that unfinished post was meant to be for today.
The funny thing about our Lords great grace is, he gives it, not the folks around you. You see, when he says you are forgiven, its done....now us folks down here, thats a completely different story. I've even said this, "I might forgive, but I'll never forget". Is that the way it's to work? Not at all!
Admit it, Y'all have said it, and better yet, just be honest with yourself to admit it. I for one know I have wronged a few folks in my life, and there has been some that have me. But if we all continue to throw a backlash of reminders at each other, we're not going to move forward very well at all. In fact, we just might fall back a couple steps until we realize that we are beyond the point the wrong started.
Life has a real funny way of taking one small mess and turning it into something that looks like the storm of the century hit. The world we live in today is a huge "born failure" mess, the bright side of it, we can change it.
I guess all I am trying to say is, if you are going to forgive, then forget. If its something that you can not move on from, do not say it.
