People are human

I truly am learning the older I get that people are human. People make mistakes. People say mean things. People don't follow through. People disappoint. But Jesus, Jesus is constant. He loves us so deeply. He died on the cross for our sin, for all our mistakes. He will never disappoint or not stick to his word. Jesus is good. I am so thankful that my father is there all the time. He is there when I'm aching and he is there when I am jumping for joy. 

How great is it to remember this? It makes my heart happy to focus on the cross when dealing with people. I am thankful that my lord helps give me the strength to forgive and to love. He helps me remember that he is not done with me or done with those around me. He reminds me that I need to forgive people just as much as he forgives me. Our God is good, and I am so thankful for that!

Forgive and let go. 

“I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.”

Psalm 16:8
