Mark 11:25 New International Version (NIV)
25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything
against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you
your sins.”
To me, this is one of the most challenging reminders of
God's will in Scripture. I must forgive others! When I refuse, it cuts me off
the stream of forgiveness that God so longs to give to me. While forgiving
others is never easy, God has not only commanded us to do it, he has also given
us his Son as an example of forgiveness. In addition, he has promised to
empower us to be able to do his will by the power of the Holy Spirit. The real
issue: Will we let go of our bitterness toward those who have wounded us?
Thought for today:
Do realize the level of impact that grudges and anger have on my faith?
