If you forgive you will be forgiven. That is the promise. GOD is truth and GOD keeps HIS promises.
In the above verse we read that we are not to judge in order not to be judged with the same measure that we are using.
GOD reads our hearts. When we make judgement on people and condemn them for their sins against us, we should always remember the story told to King David by Nathan, the prophet. Nathan told King David about a man who had one sheep and he loved the sheep greatly and it even slept with him. However the man worked for a rich man who had many sheep and the rich man wanted to slaughter a sheep for his banquet so he took the poor man's sheep and slaughtered it.
King David was furious and then shamed when Nathan told him that he was the rich man and he had taken Bathsheba from her husband. (2 Samuel 12).
We should always remember this tale and dwell on our sins and ask GOD for forgiveness of our sins, which are usually far worse than the sins committed against us. We should readily forgive those who sin against us.
Let us contemplate our lives and look to where we have sinned and beg GOD to forgive those sins. And let us remember the sins against us no more!
Prayer: Heavenly FATHER, I thank YOU for my life. I thank YOU for YOUR grace and I thank YOU for the forgiveness of my sins. Today FATHER I ask that you forgive all my sins and I am truly sorry that I have sinned. FATHER I forgive all those who have sinned against me.
I pray all of this in the Holy Name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay awesomely GOD blessed today.
