God Tells Us To Ask For Forgiveness Have you ever noticed how easy a child forgives when we ask for forgiveness? Have you noticed how hard it can be for adults to forgive? This is one area I think we can learn from children as they role model forgiveness when we make mistakes. In most cases if we behave inappropriately to a child and we apologize, that child will hug you and forgive you, just like that. We could ask them to forgive us more than once in a day and most likely they will with open arms. I find this so amazing and so wonderful and many times wish I could forgive as easily as my children. Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive. Luke 17:4 God also forgives very easily when we ask for forgiveness, and does not keep track of how many times we mess up. Forgiveness is a promise from God, just one more way God shows His love for us. It is important for our mental and spiritual health to forgive and apologize when we are in the wrong. When we do we are being obedient to God for His word tells us to do this. As well when we forgive we can experience God’s healing, and when we ask for forgiveness from God he is faithful to His promise, we are forgiven when we repent. There are times we need to forgive for our own well being because when we hang onto things it festers inside us. When things fester we can become very bitter which can hurt ourselves and other relationships in our lives, such as our marriage. Even when we may feel that a person doesn’t deserve to be forgiven remember God forgives us even when we don‘t deserve it, and the most significant symbol of this is the cross. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Colossians 3:13 Is there a relationship in your life that needs forgiveness? If so I encourage you to pray to God asking for courage and strength to take the first step. I have personally been healed from past issues that I couldn’t let go until I brought it to God. I no longer have that heavy burden hanging over me, God healed me and freed me and He can do the same for you! Comments Please note that all fields followed by an asterisk must be filled in.
