- How To Begin To Heal Our Souls and Forgive...With Love.
It can be a very challenging experience when someone sins against us. It seems that we all are born with a natural tendency to want to talk about that person and solicit sympathy for ourselves. But what does God's Word say about this? Let's check in:
“And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.””
I Peter 4:8 NKJV
“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.”
I Corinthians 13:4-10 NKJV
“Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.”
Proverbs 10:12 NKJV
Love covers sin. Love sees past sin. Love shows Grace and Mercy, and it does this in the Light of Yeshua, Jesus Christ Our Savior Who Sacrificed Himself Because Of Our Sin Against Him.
If Our Father Loves Us enough to send His One And Only Son to take care of our many sins, shouldn't we be more willing to look past someone else's sin knowing all the things in which we are forgiven through Yeshua, Jesus Our Savior? When we apply such godliness to our own lives and relationships it guards our deceitful hearts against gossip, and against the ever so subtle bitterness that can creep into our lives.
May we all search our minds and hearts to see if we find anyone in whom we have reoccurring negative thoughts due to a bad experience. This may be difficult to ponder on, but we need only look at the sins we have committed against Our God and Father and have been forgiven through Yeshua Our Savior to understand How To Begin To Heal Our Souls and Forgive...With Love.
Prayer:
Dear Father God, help us to never lose sight of what we have been forgiven in Yeshua, Christ Jesus Our Savior. Please help open our hearts and minds to understand all that You do for us. With this understanding help us to grant others forgiveness and allow You To Heal And Lead Our Lives. We Praise You, Bless You, Love You, and Thank You. In Your Mighty Son Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name We Pray. Amen.
