What do we do with those feelings? When we expect people to be a certain way and they fall short, how do we respond? It\u2019s not always easy to get past being let down by someone you love or turning the other cheek when a stranger takes advantage of you. People can cause us great pain if we allow them. It\u2019s easy to look at others and highlight their flaws and the things they have done to hurt or disappoint. The hard part is looking at yourself and recognizing that you may have done the same thing to another.\u00a0 We all make mistakes. In fact, we all have caused hurt and pain at one point in our lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b id=\"docs-internal-guid-3ec03bda-7fff-8d88-ca12-dc72b08285fb\" style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">How do we get past it?<\/span><\/p><p><b style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Forgive. Realizing that we all fall short daily and that the mercy of God is given to us freely, allows us to appreciate the gift of forgiveness. When we know Him, we also know the power of His forgiveness.

Making the step to forgive allows us to walk in the love He has so freely given. Don\u2019t stay locked up in unforgiveness. Don\u2019t allow the devil to steal your joy and peace. Forgive.
