Get Rid of the Grudges
So I tell you to ask for things in prayer. And if you believe
that you have received those things, then they will be yours.
When you are praying, and you remember that you are angry
with another person about something, then forgive that
person. Forgive them so that your Father in heaven will also
forgive your sins."
-- Mark 11:24-26 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
God is lavish with his forgiveness! Aren't we glad? However, just as
God is lavish with forgiveness, he is also adamant about our
forgiveness. What Jesus says should chill us to our soul. We will be
forgiven the way we forgive others. (See also Matthew 6:14-15 to have
this point reinforced!) Holding grudges blocks the Lord's graciousness
from our lives. Let's be children of our Father -- lavish in
forgiveness, quick to love, and slow to condemn.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
O Father, I trust in your forgiveness and grace. I ask that your Spirit
work in my heart to release any grudges that I may have against anyone.
I also ask that the Holy Spirit will help me to forgive those with whom
I have held grudges in a new and more loving light. In Jesus' name I
pray. Amen.
