Forgive and
Forget
By Kimberly Rose Johnson
Mark 11:25
There are many
instances in the Bible where we are told to forgive. Sometimes following that
command is easy, and other times not so much. I guess it all depends on the
reason for the pain.
I am reminded of
my character, Susan, in A Romance
Rekindled. She had her heart broken without explanation. She held onto the
pain for years without even realizing it was still there. Then this person came
back into her life and then she needed to find it within herself, and with the
Lord’s help, to forgive.
I suppose
there’s not a person on earth who hasn’t been emotionally injured by another.
If someone has caused you pain, I hope you will be able to forgive this person.
I know some rotten stuff happens and forgiveness isn’t easy—not even close to
easy. But, it’s possible with the Lord’s help.
There’s a saying
that holding a grudge only hurts the person hanging onto the pain. Our hope is
in the Lord. He is our comfort and He is there when we call on Him.
I pray today
that wherever you are on your life journey, that you may find peace and hope in
the Lord and that you will be able to let go of the hurts inflicted by others
on you.
Number 6:24-26

SUSAN HILL ISN'T READY TO FORGIVE
The small-town CPA can't forget how Blake Mitchell jilted her and left their hometown without an explanation. But when her first love returns to Leavenworth, the ruggedly handsome writer evokes conflicting emotions, especially when Susan meets the child she assumes is his daughter.
Since his parents' deaths six years ago, Blake's been raising his little sister on his own. But he's never forgotten the woman he left behind. Now, he can't undo the past, but maybe he can change the future…if he can convince Susan to give him one more chance.
