Forgive
Colossians 3:13
” Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.”
A popular question often raised even among believers is, how can we forgive and let go of the wrong done to us? Some affirm its not possible.
For a believer, it is fallacious and totally against his nature to affirm it is not possible For we know the nature of our father (God) he said, “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.” (Hebrews 8: 12). In other words, he doesnt take to account our wrong doings. If God our Father says he doesn’t remember our sins, not that he has a loss of memory, but that He just chose not to have a record of it, and we are His children, then the same trait should be found in us.
God wants you forgiving and never taking to account each wrong done to you. Peter asked Jesus a question that how often shall a man sin against him and forgive him? Jesus’ reply was ” Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, until seven times: but, until seventy times seven.” (Matthew 18: 22). In other words, by the time you start counting in the literal sense, you wont know when you will let go of the wrong the person did to you.
When we understand the love walk, we will see that love keeps no record of wrong. 1Corinthians 13:5 (NLT). God wants you living this nature, forbear, forgive and let go.
CONFESSION
I have my Father’s nature
I forgive just as my heavenly Father forgives
I love by keeping no records wrong
Amen!
