Day 32
Forgiveness
It’ll clear the bitterness away....
It can even set a prisoner free....
There is no end to what it’s power can do....
So, let it go and be amazed....
By what you see through eyes of grace....
The prisoner that it really frees is you....
Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:14, "For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your trangressions."
Jesus is saying the only way to feel forgiven is to forgive others. That is the way the cycle of judgment is removed. According to the book, God has already forgiven all of our transgressions at the cross. Jesus if referring to what we may be thinking and feeling not our actual reality.
