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.

"WILL YOU FORGIVE?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
WILL YOU FORGIVE?
YES, IT IS TIME AGAIN FOR THE FORGIVENESS MESSAGE. THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT NEEDS TO FORGIVE SOMEONE. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO HOLD THAT GRUDGE. IT IS ONLY HURTING YOU. DO YOU EVEN REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT? GO AND MAKE IT RIGHT, ESPECIALLY SINCE JESUS HAS FORGIVEN YOU. WHAT BETTER WAY TO SHOW HIM HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HIM THAN TO FORGIVE SOMEONE ELSE. IT IS UP TO YOU.
THERE ARE ALSO SOME OF YOU OTHER PEOPLE THAT NEEDS TO FORGIVE SOMEONE. IT MIGHT BE YOUR PARENTS, YOUR BROTHER OR SISTER, OR JUST A PERSON THAT USED TO BE CALLED YOUR FRIEND. THINGS NEED TO BE MADE RIGHT. GOD HAS A LOT TO SAY ABOUT FORGIVENESS AND IT WILL DO US ALL WELL TO LISTEN AND ACT ON HIS WORD.
JUST A REMINDER OF WHAT JESUS THINKS ABOUT FORGIVENESS. PETER WANTED TO KNOW HOW OFTEN HE SHOULD FORGIVE, AND ASKED JESUS IF HE SHOULD FORGIVE SEVEN TIMES? JESUS TOLD HIM SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN. I BELIEVE THIS MEANS NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES SOMEONE HURTS OR OFFENDS YOU, YOU SHOULD FORGIVE THEM.
GOD DEALT WITH ALL MEN'S OFFENSES BY PLACING THEM UPON JESUS WHO WAS JUDGED IN OUR PLACE. WE DIDN'T EARN HIS FORGIVENESS AND FOR US TO DEMAND FORGIVENESS FROM OTHERS IS NOT CHRIST LIKE. JESUS DIED FOR EVERYONE'S SINS, EXTENDING FORGIVENESS TO US WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS. SHOULDN'T WE DO THE SAME?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
