Forgiveness - Part 3

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

- Ephesians 4:32

There is this man I would call Mike, MIke owes a very rich man (Mr David) a very HUGE amount of money. One day, Mr David call Mike and told him he had wipe out his entire debts. Expectedly Mike was happy and dancing for joy.

Meanwhile there is another man (Pete) that owes Mike a very SMALL amount of money. On getting back home from Mr DAvid's place, Mike went and get the police to arrest poor Pete and put him in jail for failing to pay his debts.

Now, from the above story, who do you think was evil, wicked and ungrateful: Pete or MR David or Mike?

Most of us will point out Mike as the wicked one that refuse to cancel Pete's debt after having his own nullified. Truth is we are not different from Mike when we don't forgive our offenders because God is our own Mr David, our offenders are symbolized by Pete. We become ungrateful and wicked when we don't forgive despite having been a recipient of God's forgiveness.

Carefully check who you haven't forgiven and take that extra step of forgiving them. Don't be wicked.

It's a lovely day, you are highly favored. Good Morning beloved and do have a favoured day.
