It is exciting as a new believer coming into Christianity, you are awash with new feelings and everything is exciting. You are full of energy and everything is new to you, you love praying and talking to God as an infant does when they learn to talk. You delve into the scripture, busy to know more about the God you have just given your life to. Life is pretty exciting in these days.

I would say this marries with anything new that we start, whether it is like a new hobby or project or career, at the beginning it is all interesting and fun and we gain so much from it. But what happens down the line is, we can become bored or things just seem monotonous, that we feel like we aren't getting anywhere. This is where we slip and can slide backwards in our journeys.

What is Forgiveness, why is it so important that we forgive one another in this world? Do we even have to forgive?

Some tough questions for anyone that has been hurt or going through pain at this time. The reason forgiveness is so tough is simply because it demands action from us, it is not something you can sit back on and let happen, or something you let others do for you, it is something you must do yourself. Forgiveness comes in different levels based on the level someone has hurt you and when someone has really hurt you, it demands a bigger response from you.
