Jesus warned His disciples that when they prayed, if they had not forgiven anyone who had sinned against them, they were to forgive so that GOD would forgive them also.
Do we hold a grudge, but always expect forgiveness? Not just from GOD but from people who have wronged us?
This is actually quite a lot of food for thought. How often do we drag up a memory of someone who wronged us, but readily forget where we have wronged others.
Jesus did not make any bones about this subject. He told His disciples to forgive SO THAT they may be forgiven by GOD.
The implication of this is that if we do not forgive, then neither will GOD forgive us.
And that is a scary thought.
Today let us examine our lives and where we have held onto wrongs let us pray to GOD to soften our hearts and let us start to forgive, so that we might also be forgiven for the sins we have committed against others.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I know that I hold onto grudges. FATHER I humbly pray that you soften my heart and show me where to forgive those who have sinned against me. I pray FATHER, that as I forgive, so YOU too will forgive me where I have sinned against others. I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay amazingly Jesus blessed today!
