Scripture: ““This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”” Matthew 18:35 (NIV) Application: It is hard for us to forgive when we concentrate on the specific acts of wrongs that have happened to us. Then, forgiveness becomes a stingy behavioral act, and not a deep-down attitude. Jesus wants us to forgive from our hearts. This requires the Holy Spirit, because it is not the natural reaction of vengeful humans. It's hard, but Jesus wouldn't tell us to do it if it were not possible. Ask for help. Prayer: Jesus, we really want to forgive others as You instruct. We need Your Holy Spirit to reside in our hearts so that true forgiveness can come out. Amen.
