Forgiveness
July 28
Forgiveness...is God's gift to us through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It allows us to have new life and eternal fellowship with God.
Forgiveness...frees from a judgmental and critical spirit.
Forgiveness...is responding to evil by doing good.
Forgiveness...is the gift we must receive in order to forgive others.
Never pay back evil for evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honest clear through. Don't quarrel with anyone. Be at peace with everyone, as much as possible. Dear friends, never avenge yourselves. Leave that to God, for he has siad that he will repay those who deserve it.
Romans 12:17-19
"Dear God, I pray that this child will be willing to learn not to repay evil for evil. Help him to learn what true love is-the love that Christ has for us. Teach this child he must not try to get even, but leave that up to You. Lord, help this child see that forgiveness can break the "getting back at others" cycle and bring healing to relationships. And may this child discover how right actions can lead to right attitudes."
But when you are praying first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive you your sins too.
Mark 11:25
"Lord, I know Your desire is to forgive this child when he is separated from You by sin in his life. I truly pray that he will not be a person who holds grudges but will quickly and joyfully forgive others."
