Day 105 - Choosing to Forgive
Forgiveness is a choice, not a feeling.
“It’s not really possible to say, I can’t forgive. What you’re really saying is, I won’t forgive,” says Doug Easterday. “You’re the only one who can make this choice. Therefore, you have something to say about your own destiny if you choose to forgive.”
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught His followers how to pray (Matthew 6:9-13). This needs to be your prayer if you are a follower of Jesus Christ. Choose to pray these words now:
“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
"And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen” (KJV).
