Freedom Through Forgiveness

Today's Scripture

“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven” (Luke 6:37, NKJV).

Today's Word

Did you know that the ability to forgive others is a gift from God? The Bible tells us that if we don't forgive others, we cannot be forgiven. Unforgiveness blocks the ability for God to work in your life. When you choose to forgive, you are choosing God's way and opening the door for Him to heal your life. Forgiveness does not mean that what the other person did was right, or that you even have to get back into a relationship with that person. Forgiveness simply releases the debt they owe you so that God can release the debt you owed Him. Ask the Lord to search your heart and show you if there is any unforgiveness blocking His blessing in your life. Ask Him to show you more about this gift of forgiveness so that you can walk in the freedom and blessing God has for you today.

A Prayer for Today

God, thank you for the gift of forgiveness that opens the door for you to move in my heart. Search my heart today and help me to truly forgive others. Fill me with your love and peace, and thank you for forgiving me so that I can be free. In Jesus' Name, amen
