14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
- Matthew 6:14-15
One constant thing I have notice in life is this: you are bound to be offended by people. No matter how careful you are, someone definitely will offend you. Jesus knew this which is why he told Peter, we are to forgive Four hundred and ninety times (Matthew 18:21-22).
Forgiveness is not a sign that you are weak. Forgiveness is a sign that you wouln't stoop so low not to forgive. When we don't forgive, we become bitter which is even more dangerous. Jesus Pointed out one major reason why we should forgive. If you do not forgive one another, God wouldn't forgive you. It's as simple as that. God is faithful and just to forgive us. We should also emulate that and forgive those that hurt us.
So this morning, look back, the past days, past weeks, past months, past years, is there anyone you are still angry at, someone you are still bitter at. Yea, what the person did to you might be very bad. Nevertheless you have got to let go of the bitterness toward them. You can't receive God's forgiveness if you can't forgive others. Everyone has the capacity to forgive no matter how painful you've been hurt.
Good Morning beloved and do enjoy your saturday.
