FORGIVENESS

discerning Forgiveness

The Living word of God has alot to say about forgivness. Seems to me God doesn't give us much leway in the forgiveness department. In my mind forgiveness just isn't an option for Christians.

Close your eyes and use your breathing to set the rhythm of your prayer.

As you breath in.......relax.....
imagine drawing into yourself
the goodness of
Jesus.
Love, Forgiveness, Peace, Holiness
As you breath out....relax further.........imagine letting go and giving out:
hate, resentment, revenge, unkindness.

FORGIVENESS

Psalm 130:4 But you offer forgiveness,that we might learn to fear you.

Jeremiah 36:7 Perhaps even yet they will turn from their evil ways and ask the Lord’s forgiveness before it is too late. For the Lord has threatened them with his terrible anger.”

Matthew 6:14 If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you.
In teaching about prayer and fasting notice that Matthew says IF !

Forgiveness? by Sarah Stirman of HEARTLIGHT

Luke 7:47-48 “I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.” Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your sins are forgiven.”

Luke 11:4 and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us......
so if I am unforgiving of the sins committed against me, I am asking God to be unforgiving to me. Scary stuff.

Step Toward A Godly Walk uses the Interntational Sunday School Lessons in the hopes more Christians will take Jesus with them throughout the day. Maybe if more of us are reading the same scriptures we can use our discussions to expose others to the Living Word of God and the Savior he provided for us all in a positive way.
