THURSDAY 20TH NOV 2014 WAUMINI 88.3 FM SOUL FOOD THEME OF THE DAY: The forgiving Soul BIBLE VERSE: MATTHEW 6:15 “…But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins….” Forgiveness is a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness. There is power in forgiveness. Forgiving another person means pardoning the offender and ceasing to feel resentment or hold a grudge. We are not able to completely forget what happened, but we must let go of the anger and resentment. Many people find they still feel guilty and unworthy, even after completing the steps required for Gods forgiveness. However, there is no need to feel that way; the Bible assures us that God does not hold our forgiven sins against us (Luke 15:7) One of the most dangerous things a person can do is to hold onto resentment. Clinging to unforgiveness has far-reaching and often unexpected consequences. Because unforgiveness is a violation of Gods law, it also causes spiritual turmoil that hinders a believers growth. Prayer is stifled because of harbored sin that should be confessed. And worship is dry and hypocritical because its difficult to effectively honor the Lord while trying to justify or hide a wrong attitude . I pray for this spirit of forgiveness, forgive someone today, release and entangle yourself from the tentacles of an unforgiving heart in Jesus name.
