Jesus Is Practical:: Forgiveness

Why is forgiveness important?

Matt 6:9-15 How should we pray?

What do you think forgiveness is?

Forgiveness... IS NOT... An Emotion Only others Fair Instantaneous IS... A Decision Self-Forgiveness too Unfair A Process

Forgiveness... IS NOT... Ignoring sin Ending a relationship usually for a group Weak/passive IS... Recognition of sin Seeking restoration for individuals a powerful action!

Forgiveness... IS NOT... Revenge Reconciliation Barriers Easy Bondage IS... Spiritual Warfare One-way Vulnerability Difficult Freedom

Forgiveness is... Refusing to hold a grudge AND Wishing that person well!

What are you clinging to? What can't you let go of?

Lord, we choose not to hold on to our resentment. Thank You for setting us free from the bondage of our bitterness. We give up our rights to seek revenge and ask You to heal us emotionally and in our relationships with people. We ask You to bless those who have hurt us. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
