Scripture of the Day
Ephesians 4:32 (KJV)
“Forgiving”
“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as GOD for CHRIST’s sake hath forgiven you.”
--------------------------------------------------------
Forgiving is a hard action! Yes . . . it is an action . . . not a feeling! Many times we don’t feel like taking the action of forgiving, but we are told to forgive. When not careful, we can take on the attitude of “Let them suffer for what they did!” I mean, some things have been done to us that does not deserve forgiveness . . . no matter how many times they apologize . . . right! Let them beg! And then when we are feeling better about ourselves . . . maybe . . . we will forgive them, for a little while! We put them on a “Forgiveness probation!”, because as soon as they mess up again . . . that’s it! No more forgiveness!
Well! Who are we that GOD should take the action of forgiving! What if GOD took on the attitude of “Let them suffer for what they did!” Even when we know not what we have done! I know for a fact that I have done things towards GOD that do not deserve forgiveness. And all of us can honestly say that we have apologized to the LORD . . . even begged for HIS forgiveness, yet find ourselves messing up again! Can you imagine if we fell in and out of GOD’s forgiveness! But glory be to GOD that for CHRIST’s sake we have been forgiven! Therefore, we must also take the action of forgiving one to another!
Trust me . . . Forgiving is good medicine to the soul!
