The hard thing about forgiveness is that you often have to forgive when you feel least inclined to do so. Forgiveness is like a bitter medicine that cures many a hardness and fever of the mind and heart. Because forgiveness is a command, practicing it is an act of obedience. Obeying the Lord’s commands is something we do because we love Him. We should love others and God loves us, and we should forgive others because we are forgiven. You may not always feel like forgiving, but without it you will never be truly free. The word for today is #forgive:
Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:13 NIV
Is there someone you should forgive today? Do it!
Until next time, “Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might!”
