Good Morning! Be encouraged today, forgive and let go!
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. —Matthew 6:14-15 (NIV)
Forgiveness is the centerpiece of the Christian faith, and, in practice, it holds the power to free us from the grips of pain and anger that too often takes root when others wrong us. To forgive means to let go of negative emotions of hurt, anger, pain, hatred, bitterness, and resentment. Forgiveness is really not for the other person, but for our own benefit. When we choose to surrender the past to the past, and enter the present, then God will heal our suffering and set us free from all past hurts and pain.
Morning Prayer: Abba Father, merciful God, please forgive us of our sins this morning, and help us to forgive everyone who has sinned against us. Holy Spirit, guide us, lead us, and heal us from all resentment and anger in our hearts. Help us to let go of all past hurts and forgive those who have wronged us. Please help us to find love in our hearts to move past what was said and done, and help us move forward on our journey of forgiveness. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
