Dear Diary,
Today, I felt like the weight of world is on my small shoulders by the conflicts and hurts in my relationships. It's hard to let go of grudges and move forward. It feels like I'm eat eba without any soup, but I know deep down that forgiveness and reconciliation are the keys to finding peace.
I read a verse in Matthew 6:14-15 that hit me hard. It basically said that if I want God to forgive me, I need to forgive others too. It made me realize that holding anger and refusing to forgive only hurts me in the end.
Then, I came across Colossians 3:13, which talks about forgiving others just as God has forgiven us. It made me think about how much grace God has shown me, and how I should show that same grace to others—even when it's hard.
Another verse that stuck with me was Ephesians 4:32. It tells us to be kind and compassionate to each other, forgiving one another just as God forgave us. It reminded me that forgiveness isn't just about letting go of anger, but about showing love and compassion to those who have hurt us.
Finally, I found hope in 2 Corinthians 5:18, which talks about God's work of reconciliation. It made me realize that reconciliation is possible, even in the toughest of situations. It's a reminder that God wants us to work towards healing and restoring our relationships.
Today was a reminder that forgiveness and reconciliation aren't easy, but they're worth it. I want to keep striving towards peace in my relationships, knowing that God is with me every step of the way.
Until next time much love from THE DIARY OF A STRUGGLING CHRISTIAN.
