There are numerous people who allow un-forgiveness to wreck their lives and health. Unforgiveness is a bad decision promoted by the carnal nature and demonic forces. It often leads to trying to get revenge on others you think caused the problem. Sometimes, you can’t forgive yourself for acts you’ve done and so you consciously or unconsciously make bad decisions that sabotage the great future the LORD desires you to have. Sometimes these situations lead to unreasonable spending to either get back at someone or to try to appease the unpleasant feeling you have about what you or they have done to you.
For example, a divorce is taking place and one doesn’t like that his spouse committed adultery, so he directs his attorney to try to take everything away from the spouse instead of forgiving and seeking to reasonably and amicably resolve the problem even if divorce proceedings still need to occur.
Or, one had an abortion years ago or a baby out of wedlock and gave him up for adoption and since that time she spends money on many unneeded things to appease that gut-wrenching feeling of remorse because it seems to help for a short time. Sometimes, overspending is an outright attempt to sabotage your life because you don’t believe you deserve any blessings because of what you’ve done in the past.
Forgiveness is the step you need to take to bring yourself to a place where you can be led by the Holy Spirit. It will help you move past remorse from formerly being a poor steward and will let you know that the LORD still loves you and has empowered you in heart, mind, and bodily strength to positively move forward in life and good financial stewardship. Believers must remember His love for them is not based on their goodness and neither is His love for other people. It is based only on Christ’s unstained righteousness that provides us the ability to repent and move forward.
You can be a person of forgiveness and thus discipline who can envision a blessed future, stop unwisely using debt instruments, budget income and expenses to live within your means, and build future wealth for giving, saving, investing, and responsible spending.
Please pray for this ministry and email me with any questions. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!
