I read of your scriptures and try my best to interperate them the best I can. One of the many things that I have gathered is your lessons is forgiveness and the power it holds, and your philosophies on change.
I understand that change of any kind must start with ones self and then work outwardly. You have shown this to me in many areas of your word, but the one example that stands out the most is that of your son, Jesus. Rather than forcefully attempt to change people, or demand change, or even persuade change, he lead by example. He showed us all in the way that He lived his life. He made great changes, like that of Saul to Paul, but He did so but influencing others to change in how He lived his life.
The power of forgiveness is a great power. It frees us, it soothes us, it heals us, it is a fundamental building block of change, and influence. In order to move forward and grow we must be willing to forgive others of their transgressions, and not hold on to them. I have learned that it is near impossible to grow in a positive direction when I am holding on to negativity. I feel that holding on to any grudge, wrong doing, insult, pain, or fault only weakens me and keeps me stuck in negativity. Jesus forgave those that crucified him and ask Jah to forgive them as well for they know not what they do.
Forgive, Let Go, Change Inside, Influence Outside.
Jah Jah Bless

James 3:13,14,15,16
13 Who is wise and understanding among you. Let him show out of his fine conduct his works with a mildness that belongs to wisdom.
14 But if YOU have bitter jealousy and contentiousness in hearts, do not be bragging and lying against the truth.
15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is [the] earthly, animal, demonic.
16 For where jealousy and contentiousness are, there disorder and every vile thing are.
so here is what I got from this, make sure that all your works are pure at heart and not for selfish gains. And I think this came at just the right time. Today as I was ever so stressed because my business isn't going as smoothly as I had desired, sitting searching for answers, I looked to my phone and saw I had a new scripture awaiting in my "daily bible quotes". As I read I felt as though it was meant for me to read at just that moment. Telling me that I was too focused on personal gains for things to work smoothly. So Jah I ask your forgiveness, and pray you help me move forward the right way.
Jah Bless
