Good morning! How are we faithing? Pain is such an abuser of us. The cause and effect of physical pain is evident. Break an arm, it heals over time and we forget about it. Pain from rejection of a loved one takes time and wisdom to heal. We as believers are instructed by the Word to forgive and that right there is where we run into trouble. Being willing to forgive is not always easy but it is always prudent. When someone hurts you it is not your responsibility to fix them or the deed but to forgive. When we hurt someone, as soon as we realize, we ought to make whatever amends we can. We expect to be forgiven right? Then we must forgive. I have witnessed many people stay in pain and it is due to not forgiving. The Lord told us to forgive because it is good for us. How many times have you met bitter people who still harbor unforgiveness for something that happened long ago? That is one of the reasons we must forgive and let go and God knew this when he told us. Take this day, this week, and try something. Forgive as you want to be forgiven. Own up to your mistakes. Pray for forgiveness and forgive like you want to be. Just sayin...
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Luk 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
Luk 17:4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
Mar_11:25 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.
Mar_11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for forgiving us. Help us all to forgive quickly. Grant us the wisdom to know when we need to ask for forgiveness and when we need to forgive. Help us remember we are your children and we need you in the front of our thinking and action this day. We praise you Lord and bless you for all you do, in Jesus name, amen
