"For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." -Matthew 6:14 (NIV)
We know that we sin. We also know that those around us sin, too. Sometimes we think there are sins that can't be forgiven. We may find ourselves struggling to understand why things happen and how we could move on from what has happened. While it can be difficult to move on, we can begin with forgiveness.
God has forgiven us through the sacrifice of His Son. As we accept God's gift of forgiveness, we need to consider how we treat each other. When we think about forgiving others, we shouldn't put the emphasis on whether or not they are worthy of our forgiveness. We should focus on God's example. He forgave us even when we were sinners. We will experience hurt because we live in a world that is filled with sin, but we should follow God and seek to ease this hurt by accepting God's forgiveness in our lives and then offering forgiveness to others!
Move on from hurt by starting with trust in God and working to forgive others!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for forgiving my sin. Help me to show Your love to others and to be able to forgive others. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
