There is a quote that says, "It takes a lot of courage to forgive someone, but it takes even more courage to ask for forgiveness." While it can sometimes be hard to admit that we're wrong or have done something that needs forgiveness, we need to have courage. "Covering up" what we have done will only make things worse. We need to ask for forgiveness so we can begin to heal!
Asking each other for forgiveness is one necessary part of healing. However, the most important ask is to Jesus Christ. We need to ask Him to forgive our sin and we need to have faith that He will! Once we ask for forgiveness, we can be reassured that He will forgive us and so much more. He will not just "cover up" our sin. He will redeem and restore us. He will guide us. He will heal us and help us to become a complete person!
Ask for Jesus for forgiveness and be completely forgiven!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your plan of forgiveness and redemption. Please forgive me and help me to forgive others. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
