FORGIVENESS MEANS LOOKING AT OTHERS IN A NEW WAY.

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: FORGIVENESS MEANS LOOKING AT OTHERS IN A NEW WAY.

Matthew 6:15 KJV
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Forgiveness is a new way of looking at others. It’s a radical and counter-cultural perspective on life. If you believe in forgiveness—that God forgives, even though He is not obligated to, and that we’ll have the best kind of life if we hold other people in our lives with a loose grip—then here’s how you’ll view other people.
You will see people for what they can be and what they were intended to be, rather than simply as they are.

You’ll learn to not focus on people who simply irritate you. You can focus on them, of course, if you choose to, and keep yourself in a continual state of irritation; and you end up irritating the living daylights out of other people around you. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Forgiveness means looking at people who really have wronged you and deciding that you’d like to set things right—but in the end, you’re not going to play God.

And forgiveness means that you view the deranged people who shoot up school rooms and then turn the guns on themselves as people who are going to be standing before the judgment seat of God. They will answer to God.

forgiveness is a decision and a process. You can release someone from obligation to you personally, even though the smoldering fires of resentment keep burning in you for some time to come.

Matthew 6:14 KJV
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

LET US PRAY
FATHER HELP ME TO FORGIVE THOSE THAT HAVE OFFENDED ME AND FORGIVE MY SINS TOO LORD IN JESUS NAME.
