Passing Forward/Forgiving

Love is the key to relationships in the world. If folk just remember what the Lord has said about love. That means that folk are to treat others like they want to be treated. It is as simple as that.

A better life in 2018 begins with the simple acts of apologizing and forgiving. If you practice apologizing and forgiving you will be starting to use better building blocks in your relationships with your fellowman (sowing seeds.) When you act with love toward your fellowman, more likely than not, he will pass a similar act on to someone that he meets, and it then becomes a chain of positive events. That is called sharing or spreading the love.

If You Are Wronged

Forgive and keep going on when you are wronged. (See poem below.)

If You Do a Wrong

Ask for forgiveness when you do wrong to someone. (See poem below.)

Apologizing and Forgiveness

Whether you were done wrong

Or you did wrong to another, remember, fellowman,

Since the beginning of time

Seeds have been sown and grown

And the reaper always collects the harvest

When He sweeps the land.

Whatever you practice day in and day out

Will be what you do best and will

End up being what your life is about

For you are planting seeds on a row

What type of garden will you grow?

Plant plenty seeds of passing-good-deeds-forward

And plant lots of forgiveness, too

For one day the reaper will present

The crop that you have sown, to you.

So

Y'all, it is as simple as this; love. Why, because it covers a multitude of sins." (Two previous sentences paraphrased from 1 Peter 4:8 KJV.)
