We’ve all been in that spot where we think we will be happy when……..we get that raise, we…

Williams  Forgiveness feels good when it comes my way. It scratches my itch for another chance. It lets me back in when I should be left out. But when it’s time for me to forgive, forgiveness may feel awkward or even unfair. I know it’s the right thing to do. It’s what Jesus did for us on Calvary’s Cross. It’s what He does for me daily.
