Has anyone hurt you before? Has someone lied to you in the past? Ever had someone at church hurt you with words? When someone mentions parents does that bring back bad memories? How do we forgive…Forgiveness is not: revenge, getting even, getting the last word, hurting someone back, or payback
Forgiveness is supernatural…how can you explain when someone has physically hurt you…and you forgive them. How can you explain when you have been falsely accused…and you forgive them. How can you explain being made fun of…and you forgive them. How can you explain those closest to you turning their backs on you…and you forgive them…with a world crashing in all around you and you have done nothing wrong…and you forgive them.
Forgiveness is supernatural…do you read these words and think “how?” “Father forgive them because they know not what they have done…” If you are a believer forgiveness is supernatural and is hard to explain to a world that is “looking out for #1, just do it no matter what the cost, destroy everything in your path” Maybe its not your job to explain…Maybe your job is to just live the type of life that others can point to…Maybe you should stop carrying those burdens around that are slowing you down…maybe your only role in the process is to point them to Jesus and say…I am not sure how he did it but he forgave!
Prayer: Lord may I learn to forgive others by following your example…may I live the type of life that points to you…I am sorry for the mistakes I have made in the way I have lived my life to this point…may your supernatural love and forgiveness become real in my daily walk. From this day I want to change and become more like you…AMEN.
