Forgiveness!

 

Dearest Christ followers, we are called children of GOD because that is what we are once we have accepted Jesus Christ as our LORD and SAVIOUR.  But there is a step to take before we accepted Jesus and that is repentance.

Our FATHER, on receiving our true repentance, forgives us of our sins.  So why would we not forgive those who sin against us?

This is a human issue, and we are born sinful.  We often want to hang on to the idea of "getting even" or retribution.  But our FATHER forgives us unconditionally when we repent.

Thus, in this manner, we are called upon to forgive those who have sinned against us.

Our FATHER knows all and sees all.  And HIS instruction is very clear to us in Romans 12:19. "Vengeance is MINE alone and I will repay!"

So today, if we have any harboured unforgiveness, let us examine our hearts and then give it over to the LORD and let us forgive that person, as we ourselves have been forgiven by the LORD.  It is was Jesus would do!  It will also release us from the burden of harboured unforgiveness. 

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU forgive my sins.  I humbly ask that the Holy Spirit convicts me where I have not forgiven anyone.  Show me FATHER so that I may deal with this and forgive.  I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay forgivingly Jesus Blessed today!
