Love one another♥️

Zina Hermez

Love your enemies. Pray for those who scorn. Jesus taught us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44), to do good to those who hate us (Luke 6:27). I know it can be tough. But just think about how much God has forgiven you? How many times has he taken you back? We are called to love and forgive one another.🧡✨

An Open Letter to God…♥️💔

Zina Hermez


Dear Lord,

Forgive me for my mistakes. All the times I’ve failed you. For the times I’ve judged harshly or did something wrong. Forgive all the times I failed to do what you would have me to do or what I’ve been called to. Forgive me when I’ve gotten angry or have felt a sense of rage. “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew me.’ Your love and kindness are everlasting and unlike anything I can even fathom. To experience your love is to feel a peace that surpasses all understanding. Please help me with any anxiety or fears. I seek your peace God. You said that in this world we would have troubles but to take heart because you have overcome the world! Thank you for being my Lord!✨🤴🛐 ✳️ 🙏

Forgiveness

Zina Hermez

All love is conditional. The only unconditional love is the love which is from God. ~ Zina Hermez

Do you need to forgive? Have you ever struggled because you don’t know how? You are not alone. We can learn how to forgive. The more we practice it the better we get, and it is something we can work on every day. Forgiveness is a choice, and it is one that we can all make.

Some may think that forgiveness is something that happens to them. They wake up one morning feeling all better about something someone did. They believe that then they will be able to forgive. Forgiveness is natural, yes, it is.

But it is not usually something that happens to you! You choose to forgive, and that is when the healing begins. Forgiveness does not change things, or make them back to the way they were before. But more importantly, it changes you.

And this is not from my unique perspective. The Bible says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God (Matthew 5:8).” Forgiveness is about letting go. Praying for the person who wronged us. Forgiveness makes us healthier.

So I would like to ask if you are holding onto something by not forgiving. If you are, do your best to let it go. Pray about it. Release the burden.
