God speaks today Friday | September 10, 2021

So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him. (Genesis 50:17)
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. (Ephesians 4:32)

The essence of forgiveness

Christians sometimes struggle to listen to the inner voice that tells us to forgive, leading to bitterness, resentment, and even hatred. Forgiveness is key to Christianity, and we must remember how God forgave us in Christ in order to forgive others. Holding grudges and seeking revenge paralyzes us and makes us incompetent in the eyes of God. Forgiveness cleanses the heart and shows evidence of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We must surrender to God and let go of bitterness to experience the joy of the Lord. Forgiveness is a sweet offering of love that honors us and God. Read more...
