But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, [a]clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. 32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Matthew 5:44, Ephesians 4:31-32, Matthew 6:14-15

Who do you need to forgive today?
Let the burdens of your heart be lifted away by forgiveness. Then you will see the Lord work in your life.
As I grew up, there were many occurrences in my life that I have had to forgive. It does not mean that you will forget what happened, especially if its traumatic. But God has a way of giving us relief, and day by day, month by month, year by year, we can slowly forget.
The act of forgiveness has liberated me. Now, I can revel in joy and lead the life I’ve longed for in Christ. Clinging to the pain others have inflicted is not an option for me, and it shouldn’t be for you either.
Our past haunts our future when we cling to the hurts, distrust, and failures from those we trusted or those who disappointed us.
Everyone around us is affected.
So today, I want to encourage you to forgive someone.
When Christ was persecuted, and hung on the cross, He said,
“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”
Luke 23:34
Jesus death took away our sins, His blood washed us clean.
True forgiveness is found only in Christ.
We can forgive, because He first forgave us, He first loved us.
Without Him or His mercy for us, we cannot be forgiven of our sins.
I want to invite you to know Jesus, a special invitation that will save your life.
Salvation Plan
Today, if you have not received Salvation or you would like to rededicate your life back to Christ, say this prayer:
God, I know that I am a sinner. Right now, Lord, I turn from my sins, and I ask you to forgive me. Jesus, I believe that you died on the cross and rose from the grave, for me. I open my heart and life for You to come in, and I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Thank You, God for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
