Often times people find it hard to forgive no matter how little the offender have offended them. They carry grudges in their minds and seek for revenge no matter how long it takes to get it. Life should be more than that, forgiveness isn't something difficult to do.

I heard a story of a boy whose pastor told him his mother is a witch all because his wife could not bear a child for him. Without him going to confront his mother he took it so personal to the extent he never went to visit the mother, threw the mother out of his life, restricted her from everything that's his. At the end of everything the mother died, because of the grudge and hatred he had for the mother he never attended the burial.

After 8years of the mothers death, he finally realized that the same so called pastor who said his mother was a witch is the one responsible for all the problems he was facing. He cried, too late to beg the mother for forgiveness, he went to the mothers grave and cried bitterly, let's hope his mother hears him and forgive him for abandoning her, for treating her as a slave.

Today is a gift, tomorrow we don't and can never know, let's love those close to us. Even in such times when it seems they are causing problems, still show them love. Even the Bible says when you show love to the wicked, it's like heaping coals of fire on their head.

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present, live a life of the present and not a life of the past.

Many people allow their past to hunt them, because of what happened in the past they are scared to continue in the present but if you can't continue in the present, how will the future be?
Create a good present by forgetting the past then the future shall be as 🔆 bright as the rising ☀ sun.

It is often said that tomorrow doesn't exist. All we've got is today to be the best we can ever be.

You have said it all . indeed yesterday is a burden ,if bad it brings sorrow and if good we might be too happy to see whats ahead of us .its best to just let go of our yesterday ,face today and pray tomorrow be a blessing to us .
