MATTHEW 6 – FORGIVE THEM
“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:14
Is there someone in your life that has hurt you? I mean, not just hurt you, I mean someone who has deeply hurt you? Perhaps it was an unkind word or a neglected recompense that was rightly due to you? Or maybe it was a malicious act against your person, something you cannot forget.
Whatever it may be, however it may have evolved, it has left an open wound in your soul. And it has caused you to resent that person with deep disdain. And because of the hurt they have caused you and how the pain has affected your life, you have no place for forgiveness… just hate. And you have harbored these feelings for what has now felt like a lifetime.
CHALLENGE
To all your enemies and unkind acquaintances, Jesus said, “Forgive them,” even if they do so with malicious intent. PRETTY BIG WORDS FROM THE SAVIOR. Are you ready to forgive your detractors? To “let go and let God” take its toll? If so, it will relieve you from so many burdens that have hindered your peace and joy.
May God do a miracle in you tonight. May God quicken your spirit and deliver you from the burdens that have carried for so long. May you finally give it all over to God and set yourself free.
