Forgiving in order to be forgiven.

Today I was just talking with my friend Ellen about relationships and how sometimes its so hard to forgive and forget. We were just casually talking and then she said that God said something about forgiving others so that He will forgive us also..

Then tonight, while I was doing my book reading with Joey... Voila! In Mark 11:25, the verse she was talking about was right there! hehehehehe.... Wow... isn't that amazing?! So as soon as joey fell asleep, I texted her right away the exact verse that I read... "And Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your father in heaven may forgive your sins."

Ang galing talaga.. na-aliw ako.. hehe.. I'm sure that's no coincidence.. Meant to be talaga na mahanap ko yung verse na yun para ma-ishare ko kay Ellen.

Here's the other verse that struck me while reading. Which is, incidentally, the verse right before the one that I just wrote. It says, "Therefore I say to you, whatever thing you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." Mark 11:24

ASK-BELIEVE-RECEIVE-HAVE.... what powerful words.

So, Lord, I ask, believe, receive and have a worry free Boracay Vacation.. hehehehe :)

I know and I believe. :)

'Till my next post!

PS. No, that picture above was not taken today.. haha... It was taken during Mai's Wedding last February 2009.
