Forgiveness

 April 2, 2024

Verses of the day - Matthew 18:21-22 (NRSV)

Then Peter came ad said to him, 'Lord, if another member of the church sins against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?'  Jesus said to him, 'Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times.

In Chapter 4 of my second book, Jesus speaks to us about forgiveness.

Excerpt from Come Back To Me - Jesus' Plea To The World

Learn to forgive yourself.  Others may have forgiven you a long time ago but if you hold on to your mistakes, they will continue to eat away at you.  This is the work of the the devil.  He enjoys it when My dear children beat themselves up over past mistakes.  When you learn to let go, the devil loses his joy.  Regain your freedom by forgiving yourself.  Love yourself the way I love you, then pass that love on to one another.  The more you forgive, the more your love for Me and others will grow.  Be not afraid to do this.

It is through the Precious Blood of Jesus that we are forgiven of our sins.  Jesus loves us so much that He gave up His life for us! Just as Jesus loves us and forgives us of our wrongdoings, He desires us to do the same.  With the help of God we will be able to forgive the things that have been done to us in the past.  When we truly forgive someone, we will not remember the offense the next time we see the person.  This takes great grace to do. With God all things are possible.
