Another day filled God's Grace and Mercy!
Oh, how great Thou art!
It is very devastating when someone does or says something that makes you wonder, 'how can I ever trust them again'...
All of us have been there; that someone very close to you, that someone you love and trust with your all… lies to you!
You're at a lost for words…
You just don't understand why…
One of the people you trusted the most / loved the most, just broke your heart / lost your trust!
Brings up old memories huh?
How long did it take for you to forgive that person; if at all…
Still holding a grudge?
Now…
Self examination time!
Remember when I said in the beginning, 'all of us have been there'…
Guess what…
We've been there because we all have been on both sides of that coin!
Horrible feeling isn't!?
We have also done this to The One that loves and trust us the most; our Father in heaven.
Do you believe that God has forgiven you?
He said He will, if you will...
Now…
Let us remember what Jesus said in Matthew 6:14-15, and use what He taught us in Matthew 6:9-13; especially verse 12…
Think of that someone you have not forgiven; say this pray (until you are able to speak to the Lord in your own words)…
It doesn't matter what "IT" was; what matters, is that you "FORGIVE".
Enjoy this gift called - TODAY!
AMEN!
Matthew 6:9-15 (NLT)
9 Pray like this:
Our Father in heaven,
may your name be kept holy.
10 May your Kingdom come soon.
May your will be done on earth,
as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today the food we need,
12 and forgive us our sins,
as we have forgiven those who sin against us.
13 And don't let us yield to temptation,
but rescue us from the evil one.
may your name be kept holy.
10 May your Kingdom come soon.
May your will be done on earth,
as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today the food we need,
12 and forgive us our sins,
as we have forgiven those who sin against us.
13 And don't let us yield to temptation,
but rescue us from the evil one.
14 "If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. 15 But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.
