Matthew 6:12 And forgive us our debts, As we also have forgiven our debtors.
When we live our lives we so often find that there are those around us that are hurting and seem to have lost hope of ever being healed. They read the bible, they pray, they go to church, yet they are still hurting and just do not seem to be able to get out of their hopelessness. In ministering into the situation there seems to be a lack of understanding or a broken relationship between themselves and God.
In some ways this seems to be judgemental, but while the relationship with God is not healed, how can healing in other areas of their life take place? Often we want God to heal us, to forgive us, yet we cannot heal our relationships with others through forgiveness and love. We must first forgive others, before God can forgive us. While we carry the burden of unforgiveness, we run the risk of living lives of hopelessness.
Be encouraged today to seek the restorative love of God in your life.
David
Point to ponder: God’s forgiveness is dependant on us forgiving others.
Question to consider: Do you carry a burden of unforgiveness?
