FORGIVENESS
ANNIE,OIC
In him we have redemption through his shed blood also the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace.
It is vitaly important that we forgive. Ourselves and others, It is important to God and to ourselves as it affects our health and our emotions as well as our attitude. The scripture says that in Jesus we have redemption, this means if we have it we must give it. Many of us in the body of Christ today have a hard time forgiving. We find it difficult to let go of past hurts and wrongs. What if God treated us the way we treat each other. We would be in danger wouldnt we. We chose from day to day what we are willing to forgive and what we want to hold on to. But, Gods' word tells us to forgive, he dosent give us an option on this. If God tells us something it is considered a commandment. I am not talking about the 10 commandments. No one could keep them, that is why Jesus came and died for us. I am talking about things Gods' word tells us we must do in the new testiment. Jesus told us in the new testiment that we are to love God with all our hearts minds soul and strength and love each other as ourselves. He also said if we did not forgive others the father would not forgive us, in fact he went as far to say our prayers would not even be heard. What if Jesus kept a list of wrongs on us based on how bad we hurt or grieved him. Does the thought of doing anything that would hurt the one who died in your place grieve you? It should. However, we do it every day. Every day that we chose to hold on to unforgiveness and bitterness and we keep record of wrongs we are hurting the one who gave his life for us. How, because he told us to love and forgive.I am so thankful that our God is so awsome that when we ask for forgiveness he forgives and remembers it no more. How I wish we could be more like him. Can we? I want to forgive and remember it no more. Today chose to forgive everyone who has wronged you. Wipe the board clean of all hurts and transgressions done to you. Say yes, I chose to forgive and give it to God. Lord heal me of all my hurts, take it from me I want to remember it no more. Even if you dont tell that person themselves, tell God. He knows anyway.
Through the shed blood of Jesus Christour sins are forgiven according to his riches and grace we have access to the power of his shed blood today to say I am chosing to forgive all hurts and wrongs done to me today in Jesus name, bless them and keep them through your grace and mercy in Jesus name. amen.
Lord Jesus, you give us all the grace we will need to forgive those that have hurt and wronged us and in your name we will for we love you and want to glorify you.
Amen. Be blessed and healed in Jesus name today.
