FORGIVING OTHER WHO WRONG US

Have You ever experienced a deep and desolate distress when you have to face a hurtful problem and nobody is around you? I m sure you have, 'cause nobody can escape from it, can't we? You may feel a profound anguish deep inside your heart, right? Someone wrong you, desert you and deny you ... and suddenly you remember Jesus admonition to forgive other who sinned you... Well, honestly it is more than our mind can completely fathom, isn't it? But the question is why should we? What vantage will we get from forgiveness?

If we ask our Father those questions, He will remind us on the prayer that Jesus has taught us: ... And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors (Matthew 6:12)

We realize that we are also a sinner and need constant forgiveness from God. Scripture shows us an example of a right attitude of Stephanus the Apostle when he was stoned (Acts 7:54-60). Such an attitude of love and mercy should also be ours. So, let the Spirit work in us.

Cheer-up!
