My guest today is Author Anita Higman who shares about forgiveness. Here’s Anita:<\/p>\n

\n
“Over the years when people have wronged me sometimes forgiveness can feel impossible\u2014as easy as crossing an ocean without a boat. One incident that comes to mind was when someone made a promise to me and then didn\u2019t follow through. I will call her Jane. When she made the promise it was received with great rejoicing and expectation on my part, but in the end Jane let me down. I have forgiven Jane, but from time to time, I still think of that broken promise. I admit sometimes in my humanness that those thoughts of the past threaten to return again and again.<\/p>\n

But I know the difference between something flitting through my brain and something settling in my spirit for some serious festering time. If I start that fretting routine then I give that piece of the past right back to God. Again. And he is faithful and merciful to help me. Is it easy to forgive Jane for what she did? Not at all. Is it necessary for my sanity, for living free, and staying right with God? Absolutely.–Anita<\/span><\/p>\n
