Matthew 6:14-15
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Is there anything more annoying than kids titling on each other? Well, maybe one more thing a bunch of politicians running ads tattling on each other instead of telling you where they stand. Hmmm . . . I think I see a similarity. . . LOL!
What would your life be like if God went around pointing out all of your sins and refusing to forgive you for them? What would it be like to never be forgiven for anything you did? Now, I know you may be thinking but Tabetha, I have never done what this particular person did to me! You don’t understand! You are so correct. You may have not, but God doesn’t organize sins as we do. He sees them all the same.
Now your next excuse may be that they will never say they are sorry. Pretty sure that was left out of Matthew 6. That is not a priority. Forgiveness is not a two-way street. As a matter of fact, you are only responsible for your side of the street. In order to keep it cleaned up you need to offer apologies and forgiveness.
I want to make one last statement. Jesus had been wrongly accused, beaten, humiliated, and put to death. What were some of His last words? Oh, yeah, “Father forgive them.” So what will be your words today?
Lord, forgive them for they know not what they do. ~amen
