Forgive And Let God Do The Rest

Forgive And Let God Do The Rest

Ephesians 4:32: And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

People like to say, β€œI can forgive, but I cannot forget.” Have you heard that before? Now, in the first place, nowhere in the Bible does God tell you to forgive and then to forget. It is not in the Bible! The devil is adding something here to make the whole thing burdensome.

God only tells us to forgive because God in Christ has forgiven us a debt we cannot pay. When we do this, we do ourselves a favor because harboring bitterness and unforgiveness can sometimes destroy our health!

So just forgive and let God take care of the rest. When you really forgive, sometimes, He makes you forget. But sometimes, you still remember the incident because it was a major thing in your life. Yet, when you look back at it, the pain is no more there. The sting is gone and you are not bitter.

Joseph had forgiven his brothers before they came and bowed before him. He remembered what they did to him, but he did not remember it with bitterness. (Genesis 50:15–21) So you may remember the incident, but the bitterness is gone because you have put the cross in the picture β€” β€œGod in Christ forgave me. Daddy, I forgive you. Mama, I forgive you. My cousin, I forgive you.”

When you forgive, forgive by faith, not by your feelings. We walk by faith, not feelings. (2 Corinthians 5:7) Some people are waiting for feelings β€” β€œI am waiting, Father, for the right emotion to come on me to forgive that person.” That β€œright emotion” may never come!

No, forgive by faith, and do it once and for all. Spend time in prayer. Take out your diary and write it down: β€œFather, I bring this person before you. You know what he did to me. Father, as You forgave me through Jesus’ cross, even though I did not deserve it, by faith, I now forgive this person and I let my anger against him go in Jesus’ name. Amen!”

Once you forgive by faith, you will see the sting of bitterness removed from your heart. You will experience the peace and joy of God filling your mind, and see a greater measure of wholeness in your body!

Confession:
When I forgive others, I free myself from bitterness, Sickness and unforgiveness. I receive Grace to Let GO.

    JUST FORGIVE AND LET GOD TAKE CARE OF THE REST. πŸ™πŸΎπŸ”₯β€οΈπŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½

    WHEN YOU REALLY FORGIVE, SOMETIMES, HE MAKES YOU FORGET. BUT SOMETIMES, YOU STILL REMEMBER THE INCIDENT BECAUSE IT WAS A MAJOR THING IN YOUR LIFE. YET, WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT IT, THE PAIN IS NO MORE THERE.

    PASTOR THIS IS EXACTLY MY EXPERIENCE. I THOUGHT MY EXPERIENCE WAS UNFORGIVABLE. I THOUGHT THERE WAS NO WAY IN MY LIFE I WAS ABLE TO FORGIVE GIVE MY DAD FOR THE WAY HE MADE ME FEEL FOR MANY YEARS OF MY LIFE.

    BUT INDEED WHEN I BECAME BORN AGAIN. I LOOKED UP TO MY FATHER IN HEAVEN, AND HIS ABILITY GAVE ME CAPABILITY TO COPE, TO ARISE, CONFRONT AND CONQUER THAT devil AND his dirty actions.
    GLORY BE TO GOD. πŸ’ƒπŸΎπŸ’ƒπŸΎπŸ’ƒπŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ”₯β€οΈπŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎAFTER I FORGAVE MY DAD, HE GAVE HIS LIFE TO JESUS. MY MUM WHO WAS AN ALCOHOLIC. AFTER I SHARED MY LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS WITH HER ALSO GAVE HER LIFE TO JESUS. THEY ARE BOTH IN HEAVEN NOW BECAUSE I CHOSE TO FORGIVE AND KEEP SERVING GOD REGARDLESS.

    I AM VERY ENCOURAGED BY THIS DEVOTIONAL TO KEEP FORGIVING ALL THOSE WHO DO ME WRONG I AM ABLE TO DO SO ONLY WITH THE HELP OF GOD AS I PUT EVERYTHING IN HIS HAND AND HE TAKES CARE OF IT FOR ME WHILE I GO ON SERVING HIM.
