Mark 11:25 NKJV
“And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”
Mark 11:25 NKJV
Living a lifestyle of forgiving others is one of the best ways to live free from being caught in unforgiveness.
Living life here on earth is mixed with all kinds of challenges and with all kinds of peoples.
We don’t even know who is offended by our conversations, our words and gestures.
People may read things that we don’t even mean and sometimes we don’t even realise we are being mean to someone else.
In the same way, others also may have done things that brought hurt and pain to our lives.
Therefore, to be free from unforgiveness is to forgive everyone of everything they have done.
Living life forgiving others can assure us that we also will be forgiven by our Lord for our mistakes.
This is also a principle of sowing and reaping, if we forgive, we will be forgiven.
If we don’t forgive, we harm ourselves by our own hurts and pains.
It causes the wounds to affect every part of our lives and robs the joy the Lord has prepared.
When we release people and forgive them, our hands and heart will be free to receive from God our Father the forgiveness we need.
Our real identity is found in Christ. That’s who we are as His children.
Jesus forgave everyone who killed Him. Therefore, we also forgive everyone.
This is who we are in Christ, ready to forgive at all times no matter what people have done to us.
Let us live life assured that we are forgiven. Jesus Christ our Lord forgave, therefore, we also will forgive others.
Blessings
