I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"WILL YOU FORGIVE?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

WILL YOU FORGIVE?

 

I WROTE ABOUT FORGIVENESS IN THE PAST TO A SPECIAL FRIEND BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED SO I AM WRITING THIS AGAIN.  I ALSO BELIEVE WE ALL CAN BENEFIT FROM WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT FORGIVENESS.  

 

WHEN YOU DON'T FORGIVE, YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE ONLY HURTING YOURSELF.  JESUS HAS A LOT TO SAY ABOUT FORGIVENESS.  I GUESS THE BEST ONE IS MATTHEW 6:14-15 WHERE HE SAYS "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."  YOU MIGHT SAY THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN FORGIVEN AND THIS IS TRUE.  GOD WILL APPLY THE FORGIVENESS THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PROVIDED FOR US AND APPLY IT TO THE SINS WE ASK FORGIVENESS FOR.  HOWEVER, WALKING IN FORGIVENESS WILL STOP THE DEVIL FROM HAVING ACCESS TO US.














AND ONE OTHER THING, I DON'T CARE HOW MANY TIMES THAT A PERSON SINS AGAINST YOU, EVEN IF IT IS THE SAME SIN, IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO FORGIVE THEM EVERY TIME.  DON'T BELIEVE ME?  LOOK WHAT JESUS TOLD PETER WHEN HE ASK THE QUESTION, "how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?" PETER THOUGHT HE WAS BEING VERY GENEROUS FORGIVING SOMEONE SEVEN TIMES BUT LOOK WHAT JESUS SAYS IN MATTHEW 18:22 "I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven."  IT LOOKS LIKE JESUS IS SAYING THAT THERE ARE NO LIMITS WHEN IT COMES TO FORGIVENESS.



SO WE ALL NEED TO FORGIVE ANY PERSON THAT SINS AGAINST US.  GO TO HIM/HER AND MAKE AMENDS.  YOU MIGHT NOT FEEL LIKE DOING IT BUT DO IT ANYWAY.  I KNOW JESUS WILL BE PLEASED AND YOUR HEART WILL BE SO MUCH LIGHTER.  IT IS YOUR CHOICE BUT IT IS GOD'S COMMANDMENT.



GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
