The word tells us we are not to grieve the Holy Spirit. We are not to continue in something that He has told us to let go of. How many of us at some time have held a grudge against someone else. Well, you have to let it go. Do you realize how much JOY you are missing out on by holding on to a grudge. Do you know how much forgiveness you are missing out on. The word is clear about forgiveness.
The LORD says in Mark 11 v 25-26 ....And whenever you stand praying if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.......
I don't know about you, but I want total forgiveness from my Father in heaven. I certainly do not want to grieve the HOLY SPIRIT. You may ask how do I not do these things and how can I be the type of person who is pleasing to the Father? Glad you asked.
Ephes. 4 v 25-32.......Therefore, putting away lying, "Let each of you speak truth with his neighbor," for we are members of one another. "Be angry and do not sin," do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as GOD in Christ forgave you......
Ephes. 5 v 8-10.....For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the LORD. Walk as children of light, for the fruit of the SPIRIT is in all goodness, righteousness and truth, finding out what is acceptable to the LORD......
And if you have not found the light yet, I invite you to seek the LORD JESUS and come to know HIM as your personal SAVIOR and you too can walk in the light. You too can be forgiven anything, You too can have the PEACE and JOY that comes with being a child of GOD.
Ephes. 5 v 14.....Therefore He says, "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light."...
Remember we are not perfect as Christians, we will make mistakes, so do not put us on a pedestal. But with those mistakes comes forgiveness and understanding from the LORD, and we learn from them, and we do not continue to make the same mistakes. When we read GOD's word we are given wisdom in how we are to correct our actions and God shows us how to turn from our sins and live for HIM. Once we truly start living for HIM, we do not continue in the same sin day after day. We become a new man in CHRIST, and we totally change. (Just ask anyone who knew me before I met Christ). Trust me, you become NEW! AMEN!
