This morning I attended the worship services of Willow Creek Community Church. Teaching Pastor Mike Breaux is in a teaching series titled Coming up to Breathe. This morning the topic primarily centered on forgiveness and was titled "Amend my Relationships".
Breaux defined forgiveness in several ways, but here's one that caught my attention:
Forgiveness - Giving up your right to get even.
Often our personal world gets unbalanced and we attempt to "rebalance" and "recenter".
Amending relationships are imperative to spiritual health.
The sermon theme that was reviewed and spoken by the congregants: I must amend my relationships by forgiving those who have hurt me and seeking forgiveness from those I have hurt.
Spirit changing concepts.
