You can choose

People choose how they react. They choose either to be ruled by emotions or choose to be in charge of their emotions.

We have the power to choose how we will react to others and whether we will allow their choice to affect us or not.

You may feel a certain way but that doesn’t mean it has to be how you make your decision. You can make your choice despite your feelings.

Emotions are not bad, but if we allow our lives to be ruled by our emotions we would never for give each other.

It hurt when someone wrongs us and you may never feel like you want to forgive them, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t forgive people.

We are all human and we all make mistakes.

Jesus forgives us for all the wrong we have done so in turn he asks that we forgive others.

Choosing to forgive does not make what the person did right, but it does build a bridge for restoration in the relationship.

Forgiveness is a powerful thing and to not forgive is to give your emotions the right to rule you, instead of you ruling your emotions.


And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

Mark 11:25
