A MODEL FOR FORGIVENESS

A MODEL FOR FORGIVENESS SCRIPT

(Scroll down)

Is there someone you’ve been unwilling to forgive?

Unwillingness to forgive is unwillingness to give control to God. I realize sometimes you can’t forgive people in your own strength. The hurt is too deep. That’s when we ask God to help us do what we cannot do. Leave the “getting even” up to Him.

How do you know when forgiveness is complete? For me, it’s when I’m able to see that person without having a knot in the pit of my stomach. There’s no sense of bitterness or resentment – just acceptance. 

Does that mean you have to trust them? No, but you choose to love them. God performs a miracle when we ask His help on forgiving others. And remember, Jesus is our ultimate example. While our sins murdered Him on the cross, He said, “Father, forgive them.” 

If Jesus can forgive us, then through His power we can forgive others who have wronged us. Ask God to help you do this TODAY!
