Give us our food for today, and forgive us our sins, just as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Matthew 6:11-15
TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL LINK
Upper Room - 05/22/06
Throughout the scriptures, the LORD repeatedly demonstrates forgiveness. The LORD gave instructions and mankind fails to obey. He chastises His people, they repent from their sin and the LORD forgives.
When we have brokenness in our relationships, we are to follow the Divine example. Even when we don’t feel like it, even when we would rather stay angry, God’s example of being willing to forgive is the biblical answer.
And remember, how the other party responds to your act of forgiving is not the issue. God calls you to be obedient, no matter how they respond.
