THE POWER AND PURPOSE OF FORGIVENESS#957 /EMBRACING THE FATHERS HEART WITH DR GEORGE WATKINS

THE POWER AND PURPOSE OF FORGIVENESS

 

What does the bartender, the Catholic priest, and the hair beautician have in common? You're right. They are points of release for the innate desire of men and women to confess to someone or tell them the story of their life.

Actually, it's just the way God made us. When he wired up our internal system, he gave us a conscience that forces us at some point to confess and talk about the things we have done.

This is what is so important and powerful about the act of forgiving and forgiveness. Actions committed against us that cause negative feelings will produce a seed of unforgiveness in our souls. The only way we can be free from that, according to God's plan, is to forgive those who have offended us. 

When we do, two things happen:

First, we are free from the bondage of bitterness, resentment, anger, and hatred. All those are byproducts of an unforgiving spirit that would capture us and stop us from developing our life and spirit.

Secondly, when we forgive those who trespass against us, God goes to work on those who have cheated or wounded us in any way. He is not after their destruction; he is after their redemption. God always works toward life, not death.

If we don't forgive, we are held in bondage, and the person who has offended us continues to be bound up in their lifestyle.

This is why Jesus said in the book of Matthew that when we let forgive someone else, we are forgiven in return.

It's a beautiful deal.
