Good morning! How are we faithing this Saturday? Forgiveness. What about forgiveness. Do you really forgive or do you pay some lip service and say,"aw, it's alright" and then under your breath say,"jerk"? Look people, the Word tells us to forgive and it also tells us when God forgives it is forgotten and gone as far as the east is from the west. If we forgive then bring it up again, we have sinned and we are not allowing the same grace for others that Jesus is giving us. Forgiving does not justify nor does it diminish that sin perpetrated against us but what it does is wash it away from us. You can't live remembering all those sins committed against you because that in of itself is a sin and also you will become bitter and an unforgiving mean man or woman. And the person who sinned against you is not your concern, it's Gods. Why walk around carrying sin? If you are having trouble dealing with infractions against you, get help, seek God out, seek doctors or counselors if need be. Some very heinous things happen to us and sometimes we simply need help letting go and dealing with it. Sometimes it is an evil spirit and sometimes there is a physical malady as a result of things perpetrated against us. Be wise. Read the Word. Trust that our forgiveness and our forgiving demeanor is necessary for our health.
Mar 11:25-26
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Mat 18:21-35
Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for forgiving my sins. Grant us the strength to forgive others. Grant us the courage to seek help when we need it. Help us to recognize we all are sinners and my sin is no different than anybody else. We praise you and thank you for forgiveness. In Jesus name, amen
