Devotional                           Day 1, Friday, March 12, 2010

Forgive

 

MARK 11:25-26 NKJ ~ And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.

 

You must forgive others. No matter what they have done. It is the command of God. But it was given for our benefit. To not forgive hurts you. Refusing to forgive is like swallowing poison daily. It will destroy you. Jesus said we should forgive. So we don't have to wait until people apologize. Nor does forgiveness require a long time.

 

Forgiveness is not a feeling. It is a decision to quit holding something against someone. When we forgive people we must release them and forget it. You may think it is impossible to forgive someone who has deeply wronged you. With God it is possible. He never asks us to do something we cannot do.

 

LUKE 6:35-38 NKJ ~ But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Highest. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. .

 

Whatever we measure out is what will be measured back to us. If we want others -- including God -- to show mercy to us and forgive us -- we must forgive and be merciful to others. It is not enough to forgive only those people who have wronged us a little. We must forgive everyone.

 

 

Dear God – With your help, I can forgive those that hurt me. Help me to forgive and not wait until someone apologizes. Help us to choose to forgive and not live under the weight of bitterness and anger. 

In Jesus’ Name, Amen
