Life can get hard and distractions make it even harder to see the bigger picture at times; nevertheless, God is STILL in control and Christ should STILL remain as the center of our focal point in ALL we do. Christ is coming sooner than we know and we must be ready, and stay ready as His bride to be. We must maintain a heart of repentance as we stay on track until His soon return.

“The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭17‬ ‭NIV

Forgiveness on behalf of our past can be extremely hard, especially when we have experienced a circumstance where we have been severely wronged. However, the Bible instructs us to forgive from the heart no matter the offense. God's mercy extends deeply to us, so that we can extend mercy deeply to others. In order for God to forgive us, we have to sincerely forgive others. There is liberty in forgiveness. Forgive from the heart.

"For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."

Matthew 6:14-15

God is the source of our strength, our rock, and our salvation.
We can do all things when we stay in connection to Him.

Philippians 4:13 says,
"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength".

John 15:5 says,
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing".

We aren't much without Jesus, and we can't do anything purposeful without Him. It's important that we make time in our schedule and room in our hearts for Him at all times in order to stay fruitful and productive in our lives.
