Today's Focal Scripture reveals a conditional prayer that Jesus instructed His disciples to make. He taught them to say,"And forgive us our debts,as we forgive our debtors". Jesus seemed to affirm that the condition for God's forgiveness is that we must forgive those who have hurt us. He presented God's forgiveness as an issue that is tied to our ability and willingness to forgive.
Isn't it true that we are often quick to ask God for forgiveness,yet so often, we are not willing to forgive people who have hurt us?
Friend,hear God's warning to you: The forgiveness you wish to receive from God is tied to your ability to forgive. The only way that God will forgive you is when you deliberately forgive others.
Beloved, I know they hurt you so badly,please let the hurt go. They lied against you,betrayed you, gossiped against you and denied you what was rightfully yours,God says,don't hold what they did against them. Just forgive them and move on.
Jesus didn't ask His disciples to forgive those who ask for forgiveness;He asked them to forgive EVERYONE.
Hand over your hurt and pain to God;ask God to deliver you from unforgiveness. Forgive your transgressors so that God can forgive you!
Pray with me,"Lord,help me to forgive every hurt in Jesus name".
Have a Restful Saturday!
