About
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.

"ARE YOU A FORGIVING PERSON?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
ARE YOU A FORGIVING PERSON?
THE OTHER DAY I TALKED ABOUT FORGIVENESS BUT I WANT TO SAY A LITTLE MORE ABOUT IT. MY MOM ALWAYS PRAYED THAT MY DAD AND BROTHER WOULD FORGIVE EACH OTHER. IT HURT HER SO MUCH AND WHEN SHE WAS HURTING, ALL OF US KIDS HURT WITH HER. I AM TELLING YOU THIS BECAUSE WHAT WE DON'T REALIZE IS THAT WHEN WE DON'T FORGIVE SOMEONE, IT AFFECTS A LOT MORE THAN JUST THE ONES WE ARE HAVING THE PROBLEM WITH.
I HAVE TWO SCRIPTURES I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU. I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE HEARD ONE OF THEM BECAUSE WHEN SOMEONE WANTS YOU TO SHARE SOMETHING IN YOUR EMAIL ABOUT JESUS, THEY ALWAYS USE THIS TO TRY TO MAKE YOU FEEL BAD SO YOU WILL FORWARD IT. IT IS MATTHEW 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. IT IS A GOOD VERSE AND WE SHOULD FORGIVE BUT I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE USED TO MANIPULATE SOMEONE.
THE SECOND VERSE CARRIES A LITTLE MORE STRENGTH TO IT. JESUS IS TEACHING FORGIVENESS AND PETER ASK HIM IF SOMEONE SINNED AGAINST HIM SEVEN TIMES, SHOULD HE FORGIVE THEM SEVEN TIMES. SEE WHAT JESUS SAYS TO HIM IN MATTHEW 18:22 WHEN HE TOLD HIM "I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven." FROM THIS I WOULD SAY THAT JESUS WANTS US TO FORGIVE, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES WE ARE SINNED AGAINST.
WE ALL NEED TO LEARN TO FORGIVE MORE AND MORE. WE MIGHT NOT WANT TO FORGIVE BUT WE REALLY NEED TO. IT IS OUR CHOICE, WHAT WILL YOU DO?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
