Verse Of The Day
To
me, this is one of the most challenging reminders of God's will in
Scripture. I must forgive others! When I refuse, it cuts me off the
stream of forgiveness that God so longs to give to me. While forgiving
others is never easy, God has not only commanded us to do it, he has
also given us his Son as an example of forgiveness. In addition, he has
promised to empower us to be able to do his will by the power of the
Holy Spirit. The real issue: Will we let go of our bitterness toward
those who have wounded us?
Dear God, I want to forgive ____ of the sin committed
against me. Please block cynicism and bitterness from my heart.
Please empower me to forgive as Jesus did. In addition, dear Father, please teach me what my commitment to forgive actually means in terms of the life changes I need to make. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
