Forgiveness Comes From The Heart

 April 28, 2025

Verse of the day - Luke 23:34 (NRSV)

Then Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.' And they cast lots to divide his clothing.

In chapter 7 of my third book, Jesus reminds us that true forgiveness comes from the heart.

Excerpt from Come To The Cross

The love I have for you and all mankind is great.  Allow My love to penetrate deeply into your wounded heart.  Humans may hurt you unintentionally but have no fear or dread of them.  Allow Me to heal the hurt you feel deep inside your heart.  Sometimes My dear children bury pain from the past deep inside their heart and do not realize it.  Allow Me to bring the painful past to the surface so that I may begin a healing process within you.  When you truly forgive someone from the heart, you will not remember the offense the next time you see the person.  Forgiving one another from the heart is not easy to do but by My help, anything can be forgiven.  Blessed are you when this is accomplished.

Many times, throughout our lives we will be hurt by other people, sometimes unintentionally.  Jesus calls us to be loving and forgiving just as He is.  Forgiving one another for things that have hurt us deeply takes great strength.  It is through prayer and the strength of God alone that we will be made capable of forgiving one another.
